JORDAN Mailata is turning heads in the NFL.

After two hot-and-cold preseason appearances, the 21-year-old put together his best showing Friday (AEST) in the Philadelphia Eagles’ third tune-up game against the Cleveland Browns.

Going into the clash, it was unclear whether the Australian was on course for a spot on the Philly 53-man roster — after only playing four snaps last week — but this time, Mailata got on the field for the entire fourth quarter, and the former Souths youth player didn’t disappoint.

It’s hard to take too much away from preseason action. But if a player in just his third competitive game looks to be improving; he’s probably improving.

Brian Baldinger — former offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, and Philadelphia Eagles — agrees.

Highlighting Mailata’s play in his famous ‘Baldy Breakdowns’ on Twitter, the 12-year NFL veteran waxed lyrical about the Aussie’s performance:

“Jordan Mailata might be the biggest player in the NFL. And has never played football in his life. 21 years old, 6-8, 350 pounds. Never played football in his life,” Baldinger said.

“Watch this kick step. There’s guy’s who have been playing this game their entire life [who] can’t do this. Watch the depth he gets on this kick. This is unbelievable growth here. Let’s just watch him come out of his stance. He flies out of his stance.

.@Eagles #JordanMailata has shown phenomenal growth in a short period of time. Can’t wait to watch him over the next year. Great coaching going on in So Philly. #BaldyBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/8lO8Vda5wF — Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) August 24, 2018

“Look at that, it’s like a condor coming out of his stance right here. Now, but the feet are in the ground. Now this is how you flatten a defensive end. He comes across, you flatten him. And then you give him a good push for good measure. That’s development.

Baldinger didn’t stop there, tweeting another video, where he goes on to say that Mailata’s taken “a thousand light years of steps in four months.”

“Now this [Mailata] guy, he was just good last night, I don’t care who he played against,” Baldinger explained.

“This is just great technique. Like, all night long. I don’t care who he’s playing against. The stance, the shuffle, the hands, the powerful hands.

“Can I just show you that again? The powerful hands. This happened play after play last night. You want to know why [Nate] Sudfeld had this much time to throw the ball [deep] to Rashard Davis? Well it’s because of that man. You’re talking about unbelievable development.

“You want to see him in the run game? Just wash this player down so that Josh Adams can cut right off from here. Polynesian Power. Now, Nate Orchard is trying to make this [Browns] football team. I think at one time Nate Orchard was a second-round pick out of Utah. But it doesn’t matter. [Mailata] is playing with him here.

.@Eagles #JordanMailata has improved more than ANY football player I have ever watched in 4 months . He has everything it takes to be a dominant player, except experience. Amazing transformation. #BaldyBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/gurmylW6jB — Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) August 24, 2018

“This is real growth. This is amazing! To pass a stunt like this, this is how you do it by the way. You flatten the inside rusher, you flatten him. And you throw him to Chance Warmack. And you wait for the tackle to come around.

“Violent hands! You don’t see violent hands in the NFL anymore. This guy has got a real chance. I never thought it was possible. It’s unreal. He’s taken a thousand light years of steps in four months.”

The Philadelphia Eagles play their last preseason game Friday, August 31, against the New York Jets.
