Watch the star of Philadelphia Eagles Mailata, 27, the first Super Bowl ever 10 years ago, but had no interest in the game.
He was just setting in the first half, but he uprooted his modest Australian life to move to the United States after he told him that he was too big to play the role of rugby.
This year, the extension of a contract worth $ 100 million in a noticeable increase.
He joined the American Football Association's International Players Players Program, a 10 -week intensive course aimed at teaching America to hope.
The Eagles Pont took it by choosing a draft of the seventh round in 2018, although he never played a competitive game.
Mailata had to wait until 2020 to start its first start in the American Football Association as an offensive treatment and has not been seen since then.
He is now a major member of their crime in charge of keeping Galin Hortez safe and opens the running corridors of Rusher Saquon Barkley.
“I cannot believe how long I have arrived. I don't believe that I am still here,” said 27 -year -old.
“I was 20 years old when I made a decision to come here.
“I thought, if the matter did not work, this is enough to return to my strange functions and chase the dreams of the knees, but that's all that it really was – he was absorbed.
“I couldn't do this without my family. They were a little hesitant at first and the idea, but they came.
“They have always supported me and have always been sure that I have a place somewhere if everything fails, and this may be a large part of my success.”
Mailata grew up as one of the five children in the Samoan family.
His mother worked for 12 hours a day, six days a week while his father had made two jobs to meet their needs.
The loved ones are woke up in the middle of the night to watch the American Football Association games.

Super Bowl 59: All you need to know about the heads of the Eagles
But my father TUPA'I had the desires of his seventieth birthday granted when he finally managed to see Mailata Play after raising difficult travel restrictions.
He and his wife, Maria, made a 24 -hour trip to Philadelphia to visit their son on Christmas in 2022 and stuck in the Al -Nisour home match on New Year's Day.
Mailata said: “I was not sure of this. We advised text messages back and forth.
“They used to say that the trip was still continuing, and I say,” Are you sure? “
“We went back and forth, but I traveled there and took it. Jerker was tear.
“My father was shocking when we went to shop in the grocery.
“We had a handful of fans stop and say hello – my father shocked.
“I was like,” this is the city, my father! “They love their teams. They know who you are without a uniform.”
Mailata suffered a painful Super Bowl defeat two years ago in Arizona against Kansas City Chevings.
But what happened after that caused more pain.
His father suffered from a heart attack on the plane to Australia and placed in a medically impossible coma.
TUPA'I recovered and managed to travel to California to see his son's wedding that summer.
Now Mailata is one victory away from completing his career after switching his solid hat in Sydney to get an American soccer helmet in Fili.
