Jordan Mailata

We've all heard the Jordan Mailata story by now - it's been done to death this Super Bowl week - but what exactly makes the hulking left tackle one of the ...

But not when you are a left tackle like Mailata - it is much more complex. 'When I first saw the Eagles playbook, I thought it was an instruction manual on how to build a spaceship. They are my two goals on game day,' Mailata said of the way he simplified his thought process. It appeared almost alien-like to Mailata after he was drafted in the seventh round (pick 233) of the 2018 NFL draft. Left tackles like Mailata can't just be big, they have to be agile to protect against both the run and pass, which you can see him doing viciously here, in numerous examples. To put it simply, a gap scheme means an offensive linemen like Mailata is responsible for securing their inside gap first. This is no simple matter, like getting a pass in rugby league and running forward 10 metres. Then there is the need to be intelligent when it comes to blocking techniques, hand placement and being able to read the defensive play calls. Not only is he either run or pass blocking, he also has to be on his toes, literally, for the complex blitz schemes which might be coming his way. They have to protect their little mate at quarterback, who is the lynchpin of the entire side against mean, nasty defenders. The league's top-ranked linemen (and Mailata is not far off them) are all incredible physical specimen.

Former Rabbitoh Jordan Mailata is about to make Australian sporting history when he steps out for Super Bowl LVII for the Philadelphia Eagles, ...

The team moved up from No. “The best in the game do that. “To me, the Super Bowl dream only started four or five years ago,’’ he said. “On game day, I’ve got to eat the same breakfast, sit on the same bus — left-hand side of the bus.’’ “I listen to the same song over and over again. “I have a barefoot routine before every game to kind of ground me,’’ he said.

Jordan Mailata will play for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl to cap a remarkable rise in a sport he started just a few years ago.

Why can’t the MVP in the league be a guy from overseas? “I’d rather our guys go in completely under the radar and have to work for everything they've got,” he says. Mailata is unusually enormous, even by NFL standards and even for his position as a left offensive tackle, one of the most prized in the sport for its importance in protecting a quarterback’s blindside. And so a different sport really suited his body and his skill set.” “Jordan’s character, his energy is the first thing you really notice,” he says. Surely it was when Mailata threw Bosa to the ground and pinned him there for a few seconds to stress his point.

Philadelphia Eagles Left Tackle Jordan Mailata swapped rugby for football and has made his pick for which sport he things is more difficult.

“I think the hardest thing that I had to overcome were the expectations – I had none (by others), but I thought I did. “My mindset every day was to get 1% better,” Mailata said. To me, just from my experience, I really do believe that football is a lot harder than rugby.” It seems as though Mailata has the best mindset for adapting to And you have to go in here trying to get better every day. Obviously, there are some similarities between rugby and football.

He was also the NSW team’s guest at Game Two. Mailata, as the Eagles left tackle, became the first Rugby League player to make a Superbowl appearance in a starting line-up. Then in 2016 he moved through NSWRL pathways to South Sydney Rabbitohs’ Jersey Flegg squad.

The result is sure to sting, but the performance turned in by giant Australian Jordan Mailata on a losing Philadelphia Eagles side was of the highest order.

While Mailata had no black marks against his performance, one unhappy moment for fellow Australian Arryn Siposs had a huge impact on the match. To be fair, they came and said it was terrible too in the TV timeout. “It was terrible but, again, the Kansas City Chiefs had to play on it, too. On this occasion, the one-time South Sydney Rabbitohs junior joined with fellow offensive line player Landon Dickerson to create a running lane for Hurts.

Tretter noted that games played on slit film turf have higher in-game injury rates compared to other playing surfaces. But the Eagles' starting offensive tackle was clearly not happy with the surface that both teams were forced to play on in what was the biggest game of the 2022 season. The turf was developed under the funding of the United States Golf Association ( Among other things Tretter called for an immediate ban of slit film turf, which is currently used in six stadiums.
