Carlin Isles - USA Rugby
Grantland
A year later, Isles is an oxymoron: He's an American rugby player with fans. A YouTube video of Isles blowing past tacklers — he runs a 4.2 40-yard dash — has 3.3 million views. With its Pulp Fiction soundtrack, the footage is perfectly calibrated for American NFL fans. If you have no clue what Isles is doing, or how many points a try is worth, you can still appreciate that he is running to daylight and that he is, in some inscrutable way, awesome. "I do feel like a kick returner, like Devin Hester," Isles told me. "I see that space and my eyes light up like silver dollars."
