Re: If you got Ladanian Tomlinson and a few of his closest friends...
Listen, why do you think that 6'3 295lb guys just don't exist at the upper echelon of rugby? Is it because the UK, Ireland, France, Argentina, South Africa, Samoa, NZ, Aus, Tonga etc. don't have fast and/or strong guys? Hint: no, it's because 6'3 295lb guys tend not to have the stamina/athletic attributes to succeed at the top level. Not only would Tommie Harris not be in the top 5% of pro rugby players, he'd not be anywhere near. I seriously doubt he could make a living as a rugby player, unless he shed some fat/muscle. Similarly there's a reason why someone like Mike Catt wouldn't make it in the NFL. He's a skillful, smart, very well coordinated, strong athlete, but not exceptional at any one thing so he'd have no chance.
Yeti is right, Arcticknight's post.
