Jason Taumalolo (pictured) says his interest in a  possible switch to American Football was inspired by the chance to test himself against the worlds best athletes.

The North Queensland and New Zealand star flew to the US following the Four Nations tournament at the behest of a number of NFL clubs.

Taumalolo is accompanied by Cronulla Sharks flyer Valentine Holmes and says his decision to participate in the trial was all about pitting himself against the worlds best.
