Jordan Mailata on New Heights Podcast | Journey From Rugby to NFL, Jalen Hurts Dynamic and Greatest Australians

In this episode of the New Heights Podcast, the Kelce brothers are joined by Jason’s teammate, Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata to talk about the new Eagles Christmas album and the guys also revisit a not-dumb question about rugby players in the NFL.

Jordan shares more about his path from Rugby League to the NFL, including his first exposure to the NFL, how he chose his position, how NFL scouts found him, and where he first started training to play football.

Travis and Jason then ask Jordan about the lead-up to his NFL Draft experience, how he felt when he was selected by the Eagles in the seventh round, and who he spoke to first within the organization. Jordan also talks about the culture shock that happened upon his move from Australia to Philadelphia, his first days with the Eagles, and his “Welcome to the NFL” moment. Jason and Jordan get into the 2023 Eagles team, highlighting their roles in the “Brotherly Shove” play and Jordan’s dynamic with quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Lastly, Jordan gives his Mt. Rushmore of the Greatest Australians of All-Time, Jason tries Australian candy and the guys ask Jordan a series of rapid-fire questions, covering topics like how many toes Jordan has and his time on “The Masked Singer.”
