Brisbane Broncos giant Benjamin Te Kura has reportedly garnered interest from the NFL.
Te Kura, who is the tallest player in NRL history at 205cm, was identified by two NFL clubs in the lead-up to the 2025 draft, according to the Daily Telegraph.
According to Australia’s only NFL-accredited agent Dwane Bugden, both the Jets and the Lions would be willing to sign Te Kura “tomorrow,” should the hulking prop decide to switch codes.
“The interest is absolutely genuine,” Bugden told the Daily Telegraph.
“Both New York and Detroit are super keen on Ben.”
Bugden revealed that the interest is mutual, with just one obstacle obstructing the switch.
“He would have gone right away this season, but he had his contract with the Broncos.
“So he had to weigh it up and take it into consideration.”
The NFL agent went on to reveal that the deal is not too far off, with the 122kg forward set to make a decision at season’s end.
“They are keen as mustard. They would sign him tomorrow, so Ben will make a decision at the end of this season and see what he wants to do,” he added.”
The Broncos are aware of the interest, and reportedly will not stand in his way.
