In a remarkable turn of events, Jordan Petaia, the 24-year-old rugby sensation renowned for his speed and skill on the field, has expressed a desire to venture into the NFL through the league’s International Player Pathway program for the 2025 season. This significant shift represents a bold transition for Petaia, transforming from a celebrated Wallabies player to potentially taking on the world of American football.
With his current contract with the Reds nearing its conclusion, Petaia senses that the time is ripe for a change of direction in his sporting career. Beginning in January, Petaia will immerse himself in training at IMG Academy in Florida, a foundational step in his journey through the NFL IPP program.
With a sense of determination and excitement, Petaia describes this opportunity as a "once in a lifetime" chance to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL. With the full support of the Queensland Reds and Coach Les Kiss, he believes this moment is pivotal for making such a life-altering decision.
