This is a rugby player with no football experience.
But he is 6-8, 346 and athletic. He has the raw tools to be a good O-lineman.

He doesn’t look like an OL there. He looks like a gigantic TE. Or some bizarre creature sent from the future to destroy mankind.
Mailata is a complete project, but he has tremendous upside. Jeff Stoutland will have his work cut out for him, but this is a guy I’m sure he’s excited to work with.
