Greg Inglis receives invitation to trial with NFL clubs

Greg Inglis has received an invitation to trial with NFL clubs Buffalo and Denver as nine rugby league clubs set their sights on the Melbourne Storm champ.

As investigators continue their probe into Storm's $1.7 million salary cap breach, the race for Inglis's signature has gone offshore.

Up to four American gridiron clubs want to trial the bustling Australian Test centre at three-day camps in September.

With the Storm out of finals contention and Australia's end-of-season Four Nations campaign not starting until October 23, Inglis would be able to squeeze in a US trip to be assessed by the NFL clubs.

Inglis's manager, Alan Gainey, said he had received an approach from Australian-based NFL scouts even before news of Storm's salary-cap breach.

Inglis, who scored a hat-trick in last night's win against Canberra, is contracted to the Storm until the end of 2012, but with the club facing a purge to get under the salary cap next season, there are fears the 23-year-old could go in the cleanout.

The Brisbane Broncos have made informal inquiries about Inglis, but OzPunt, an Australian-based organisation, says NFL teams are receptive to the Queensland Origin star flying to the US to test his wares in the rugby league off-season.

"There are definite opportunities for Greg Inglis in the NFL," said OzPunt's Cameron McGillivray.

"We've sent tapes of him to NFL clubs and I know for a fact, if Greg was keen, there would be four clubs who would take him tomorrow.”

"The NFL scouts don't know a lot about NRL players unless we alert them, but they've seen footage of Greg and they believe he's an amazing talent who could succeed as a kick returner or a linebacker."

The minimum wage in the NFL is $325,000 and Inglis is understood to earn about $500,000 at the Storm, but McGillivray said Inglis could earn $2 million a season within two years if he was successful.

He ain't ever playing in the NFL

 

[Raider_69]

He'd go well there i think
Good special teamer, KR and imo he could make a real go as a WR, learning to run routes would be touch and obsorbing a play book, i dont know about LB, doesnt seem to take advantage of his attacking skill set

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Inglis is far too dumb of a human being to be able to learn and understand everything that goes on in American Football,zero chance he ever plays over there.

 

[Angry_eel]

Not a chance. There are hundreds like Inglis who never make it in the NFL and I doubt he's ever played a game in his life.

WR would be my pick for him. Its the position where natural ability truly has the most influence on how good a player is.

Learning routes would be piss easy, the main thing is whether he is athletic enough to jump as high and run as fast as they do. His catching skills are up to it given how much easier it is to catch a gridiron ball.

Any other position would be a waste for him.

It wont happen, but I'd love to see him take a genuine crack

 

[WaznTheGreat]

I would hate if Inglis had a crack over there because he would be useless and get smashed,would embarrass rugby league players

Because NFL players are the picture of intelligence :lol:

This is just one of those quiet day media stories that amounts to nothing, how many players has this been written about now? Mason, Sailor, Inglis Im sure Hayne has probably got a jersey last year sometime also.

But while undoubtably there is some intellingent NFL players, there are some f**king numbskulls also so intelligance certianly isn't a pre-requiste.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

No rugby league player would ever make it in the NFL just like no NFL player would ever make it in the NRL,end of story,thanks for coming.

 

[Eels Dude]

Sounds like a simple case of manager talking up his client for publicity sake.

 

[Angry_eel]

Remember when they said this about Willie Mason? :lol:

You know back in the day when every club wanted him.

 

[nqcowboy87]

i went onto some nfl forums and apparently the broncs and bills supporters are pretty much split 50-50 some reckon hed be worth the try and some dismiss it as nothing.

and what is with this hayne train dude, does anyone on these forums like him

 

[Danish]

I thought the mason one was actually him asking to do try outs for the jets as a guest? So theyran him through their drills but were never interested.

Inglis, if he devotes 12-24 months to learning the game would make it into one of the lesser sides IMO. no shot at being a superstar but could at least earn a contract somewhere.

Backpedalling now? I thought you need to be "intelligent" to play NFL, like those Rhodes Scholars Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress? And a whole list of others involved in drug busts, drive by shootings and other fake "gangsta" sh*t.

Shut up

Forums would be boring if we had no characters like Hayentrain and Broncos2010, etc.

NFL is for soulless robots, way to structured. Inglis (in fact most great league players) is a player who likes to pick his moment and react to opportunities he sees. The NFL has very little room for improvisation, everything is planned.

It does pay well though.
