How to play NFL: Sporting Life trains with the Jacksonville Jaguars to try and get to grips with playing on the gridiron


With the NFL in the UK going from strength to strength, Sporting Life went to train with the Jacksonville Jaguars to get a taste for life on the gridiron.

NFL in the UK has never been bigger and the year and year growth of the sport over here has been nothing short of incredible.

Regular season games play to sell out crowds at Wembley every year and this year Tottenham’s New stadium at White Hart Lane is hosting games for first time this weekend.

It's the first of four more games and, crucially the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been built specifically to accommodate NFL teams - a clear sign that the league is preparing for the day a team is based in London full-time.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have become London's team for now, signing a multi-year deal to play in the UK once a season, as they've made the big smoke their second home.

NFL is still new to many though, so the Jags invited us down to London for an exclusive one-on-one training session with Jacksonville legend and Hall of Fame nominee Tony Boselli and former cornerback Aaron Beasley.

Watch, as our man Dom finds out what it takes to make it in the NFL...sort of!
