- Ben Te Kura has been identified as a superior objective of the NFL
- The big young man is taller than Jordan Mailata and Athletic
The surprising success of Jordan Mailata winning a Super Bowl could see the NFL aimed at more Australian soccer players, and Brisbane Broncos Behemoth Ben Te Kura is already in his radar.
Bankstown Boy Mailata created history as the first Australian to play and win a NFL Super Bowl helping Philadelphia Eagles to crush the Kansas City Chiefs.
The huge offensive Tackle grew by dreaming of playing the Rugby League and caught the eyes of the Bulldogs NRL side explorers and joined its U18 program in 2014.
He changed to American football in 2018, and last year signed a $ 105 million contract.
Dwane Bugden, who works for the NFL, says that Kura could follow mailata to the NFL.
“I think he (Kura) would be perfectly suitable for the NFL,” Mornings told Sen 1170.

The Broncos giant, Ben Te Kura, has been identified as a main objective of the NFL
“It has 6 feet 8, so it is a little higher than Jordan (mailata) but it is Atlético, it has that great stretch of arm, fast feet, it is intelligent and that is what they are looking for … such a child.
'The NRL is a fast game and Jordan (mailata) in those under 20 years of age was a good player, but … its size and the speed of that game would have made it difficult for the super difficult to get up and back and forth those 10 meters all the game.
Te Kura, who is in a huge 205 cm, is only 21 years old and the biggest player in the NRL.
He is hired with Brisbane for three other seasons and will remain a young man when his contract is over.
Budgen acknowledges that more football players will seek to make the NFL movement now.
Dwane Bugden, from the NFL players association, said that Kura would be perfectly suitable for the NFL
“The NRL could lose many of these younger types because American sports love,” Bugden said.
“They are great and athletic, and I think the game suits them more than the NRL for some of those children, and I think that is why the NFL is here.
“I think NRL's game could lose those boys at an earlier age.”
