Lions sign Carlin Isles, 'fastest rugby player in the world'

What is funny is what some really don't realize about the PS signing at this particular time is it will just give the Lions 1st dibs on him next season if he shows to have enough ability to make it in the NFL. Also was very surprising to hear he was actually disappointed in the 4.22 time stating he ran 4.1 in several recent in workouts before the Lions tryout.

That IS one thing you CANNOT teach a player is raw SPEED. Can the new Lions staff improve on his other abilities enough to make the team next season? No idea but taking a flyer on just the SMALL chance they can is worth it considering the amount of work the team needs.

denard is fast and played college football for a major university.....he blows in the nfl. 1 hard hit and this guys body will spontaneously combust at his size. youtube...jesus mayhem....youtube?!! again?!!!

Seriously have you ever played Rugby? lmao
 
And as well quite frankly Denard is a 4.3-4.4 speed player NOT 4.1! BIG difference.

Lions sign rugby star Isles.

After reading the thread, I hope there will Never be any more derogatory remarks made about any posters wife.
All the 'talk' back and forth between posters is something to take and give back, discussing players and team.
Leaving Wives and families out of it is the smart and the right thing.
 
I watched those videos clips at the beginning of the thread. What a the hell was going on??? I have never watched rugby. That guy seemed athletic and fast as fuck. Big fish - small pond? Suit him up Sunday along with Kickalicious, why not? The season is over anyway. Give me a reason to watch.
 
Dubbed by RugbyMag.com as "the fastest man in American rugby," Isles became a YouTube sensation playing rugby because of his speed.

Check out the 1 minute mark below he'd definitely be a fit for one of our coverage units.

the Kenyan kept up with him then entire time.....4.1 my ass.


By the way...that's jahvid Best...the only way the NFL would let him in the league is if he changed his name.

Looks pretty fast to me 4.1 4.2 what's the difference. Nonetheless, I think he's too small.

ya Kenyan dude in the first video was huge and since he passed him then I guess the Kenyan runs a 4.0. 4.0 huge guy...why didn't we sign him?
 
We had the Russian Five in Detroit, time for the Kenyan Eleven.
 
Comeback?? Youre not worth the effort, Gomer Pile. Carry on ... :D

All you ever do when anyone challenges your argument is resort to name calling. All you're doing is proving that you lack the basic intelligence to argue your on stance on the subject matter. Now I shall dumb down this statement into terminology that you actually understand. You're a dumb fuck.

You are the MOST ignorant, retarded, and negative fucking Nancy person I have ever seen post on this forum to date. Go do something with your life rather than sit and cry about the Lions and players they sign to the GOD DAMN PRACTICE SQUAD.
