Could Denard have a career in rugby?
A recent post noted that Denard was currently not on an NFL roster and comments suggested that he should begin preparing for a career outside football. I know very little about rugby, but Denard's speed, toughness and ability to see the field seem like they would translate well. Curious to hear the opinion of people who know rugby well as to whether it might be a viable option for Denard.

Rugby has safer tackling than the NFL. You aren't allowed to shoulder charge or hit without wrapping up. Dump tackles are also illegal ( Flipping someone with their back going past parallel to the ground). Vicious hits are dealt with a red card that send you off the field with a likely multi-game suspension and your team has to play a man down. Since you aren't wearing a weapon on your head and shoulders to use as a missile, you have better awareness of technique and how to form tackle.
