Daniel Faalele has made significant progress this season, earning the starting right guard position despite being a natural tackle. At 25, he has overcome challenges and is steadily improving on the field. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Faalele looks up to fellow Australian player Jordan Mailata, who has been a mentor and resource for him. Both players transitioned from rugby to football and attended IMG Academy, but Mailata has achieved greater success, having started 64 games and secured a lucrative contract with the Eagles. Faalele, who played college football at Minnesota, still has a long way to go to reach Mailata's level but is showing promise in his development.
