Patrick Murtagh says the loss of his father three years ago inspired his NFL dream which has become a reality after the former Gold Coast Suns AFL player signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
An AFL career that didn’t take off has turned in to an NFL contract for a former Gold Coast Suns player.
The 24-year-old joins a growing list of non-punting Australians in the NFL having impressed scouts as a tight-end and he will join the Jaguars through training camp ahead of the 2024-25 season. After signing with the Jaguars, Murtagh said his father, who passed away three years ago, and delivering a “paycheck” for his mother were his inspiration to chase his NFL dream.
