Unlike, Mailata, Tedesco has a chance to impress the NFL scouts on American soil during the games. But, he thinks the boat has sailed for him, due to his age!
“But if I… came over a bit earlier like Jordan did. I might have been a chance to make it in an NFL career, but I’m a bit too far into my in a real career now to make a switch”, said Tedesco in his exclusive interview. However, he and other NRL stars have an opportunity to impress the American crowds soon enough.
