YOU'VE GOT TO READ THIS PIECE ON SCOTT HARDING! Harding played five years in the Australian Football League, from 2006-2010, performing for the Brisbane Lions for the vast majority of his fifty games in the league. Michael Weinreb's piece in Grantland details how he came to the University of Hawai'i on a scholarship to play American football, and how his unique (to the US) set of skills developed in the amazingly versatile sport of Footy have translated to his becoming the most multi-faceted football player in this country. He punts (equally well with left or right feet), he returns punts (the only player in recorded FBS history to handle both ends of the punting "transaction"), and he's also the leading receiver for the Hawaii Warriors football team this year.
There's a reason we at Following Football are so stoked about Australian Rules Football! Those players are MEN.
