  • It’s criminal that this guy isn’t in the pro bowl, absolute monster
  • @dtimbs84
    In case you, Jordan, are sitting around on YouTube looking at this video and scroll through the comments, WE are VERY proud of you! And by WE I mean Eagles fans! This Eagles fan from Delaware is very proud of you and your will to stick it out and make this your profession. We love you here my friend! And you deserve every cent of that contract,if not more!

    This made me shed a tear bro. I’m a Samoan American myself and I totally felt what sister said about changing the course. Been following your career for awhile now brother. You’re a true warrior. Alofa atu uso.
  • @townmiles8691
    As a Tongan from Tonga moving to the US for opportunities. I’m just crying watching this. Thanks for making us polys proud Jordan!
  • @benjamin0089
    At last NFL acknowledged Jordan Mailata skills.
  • @mattsmith4589
    THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE HE GETS HiS LOVE. NOTHING BUT POSITIVE PROGRESSION SINCE WE DRAFTED HIM. Them rugby skills was the main reason i knew he would be great
  • Such a humbling story, may Jordan and the Mailata family stay blessed!
  • From Australia knowing nothing about American football, and 5 years later being one of the best LT in the NFL is amazing... The kid put in the hard work to learn his position and it didn't hurt he has the best offense line coach in the NFL to learn from. Great story...
  • @bubifrez
    How could you not cheer for this guy! I hope he stays with the eagles for his (hopefully long an healthy) entire career!
  • @patrickg8106
    As someone who went to school with Jordan - I can definitely see that humble and down-to-earth person is still there !! Wishing you the best Jordan !!!
  • @joshprout1726
    And now he’s one of the best O lineman in the league! Fly eagles fly
  • @alexh9363
    As a Cowboys fan, I always root for Jordan Mailata! I played rugby most of my life, so seeing a rugby player outside of the USA, make it to the NFL, is incredibly inspiring.
  • @mcaesario
    Eagles better give Stoutland a blank check. He developed one of the best franchise O lines right now
  • As a Samoan living in VA and a commanders fan, I have nothing but respect for this guy. Dude can play rugby, football, hell…he can even sing! 😅
  • @Ray-tf2ps
    I went to his school, its crazy to watch this and think far out i went to the same school with him. He’s the funniest and most humble guy you’ll see.
  • @shunsha8606
    A 7th round pick who knew nothing about football, and already he’s performing like a top 8 LT. Absolute beast. Jeff Stoutland(the Eagles OL coach) needs a damn raise or something. Whatever he’s getting paid, he’s underpaid 😂
  • Even though I'm a Cowboys fan from Australia. I'm delighted that Jordan Mailata found his path from Rugby League 🏉 to the NFL 🏈, even if it's with the Eagles.
  • Followed eagles since 2004 about 40 minutes from Bankstown. Also support the South Sydney Rabbitohs. This brought me to tears. How good. Fly eagles fly
  • @kenetipese8445
    I'm so proud of you Uso (Brother). As a life long 49er's fan, I've followed you since before the NFL Draft and I'm so proud as a Samoan American to see God's Blessings come true in your life Jordan Mailata. CHEEEE--HOOO. CHEERS BRO.
