Former Australia rugby player Jordan Petaia has signed with NFL team the Los Angeles Chargers. Petaia, 25, played in 31 Tests and at two Rugby World Cups for the Wallabies. He has joined the Chargers as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway (IPP) after training for 10 weeks at the IMG Academy in Florida. Petaia turned his attention to American football after ending his rugby career in December after six years playing for the Queensland Reds in Super Rugby. The Chargers said he would now work with tight ends coach and run game co-ordinator Andy Bischoff alongside the team's other tight ends.
