Yes, you can. The Jets lately signed a british rugby player. But going to college and playing very well, gets attention and you might be drafted really high!

AnswerFootball in other countries is what we here in the US call soccer. It has been around a lot longer and is played in just about every country in the world. American football, as sports go, is relatively new for one and considered sissy in a lot of other countries because of the pads for another. I am American but grew up in England, home of rugby and real "football". They just can't see the use in all the pads and stopping after every play.-- NFL is not Rugby with pads. In rugby, a tackler may not grab around the shoulders and neck. If you allowed an NFL player without pads to tackle a rugby player in an NFL way, the rugby player will most likely be injured or even die. When a rugby player is being chased, they can just pass the ball to another player so as not to get hit. NFL players (for the most part) have to keep the ball.To answer the question though, NFL in the U.S. is more popular because it started there and it takes time to adapt to other countries. The NFL Europa had about 20,000 fans show up per game, but it didn't take off because they weren't the best of the best players. That is why the NFL is now having games played in England with the pro teams. Possibly two games in 2010 season.
Rugby League players in Australia get paid very low. Their average yearly income is about 200 thousand. If you compare Rugby League to other sports such as, AFL, NFL, major league and NBA, Rugby League is like a welfare payment. Rugby League is the toughest sport. It's fast and rought. Countries that are developing Rugby League such as Amercia and Lebanon, their players don't get paid at all. NRL (National Rugby League) which is running in Australia, has a salary cap. That's the reason why, Rugby League players are so under-paid. The highest paid rugby league player in Australia is about 500k for 3 years. Super League in England is better than NRL, at least their payment are double then the ones in NRL.
Rugby League. ----------------------------- I'd say rugby League because it's fast, tough and its 80mins of hard work. In Union it's all stopping and it's very very slow game, it's just like nfl . RL you do not stop.
No, why would an NFL player have a Ph.D..
Chances are if u pursue being an NFL player you will fail and work at Wal-Mart and live in a box.So,Try somthin' else. Hope i helped.don't try 2 be a NFL player.[^:
No. 9 is the scrumhalf and this is the "quarterback" of rugby. He/She is the go between the forwards and the backs.
It's a matter of opinion, but YES!
there are many. 11 players on the field in NFL, 15 in Rugby Union. One forward pass per play allowed in NFL, forward pass illegal in Rugby. Penalties in NFL result in yardage, in Rugby it's a scrummage or penalty kick. Touchdown = 6 points. Try = 5 points. Extra point (in front of posts)= 1. Conversion (in line with where the try was touched down) = 2 Separate NFL teams for offence/defence/kickoffs/punts/field goals. Same 15 on the field in rugby, with substititions allowed. There are many more but these are the main points, just to say American Football is a far superior spectacle, and I'm from a Six-Nation playing country who grew up with and played Rugby. This is a statement that would generally cause a fuss around here, but generally from people who haven't taken the time to understand NFL.
It means that you would help the player sign contracts
more than you
