In a bombshell announcement that has rocked the AFL world, Collingwood forward Jamie Elliott has officially confirmed his intention to pursue a career in the NFL, ending months of speculation about his future.
Speaking exclusively at a press conference on Friday morning, the 31-year-old star declared that his βheart is set on Americaβ and that the decision marks the βnext great challengeβ of his sporting journey.
> βIβve achieved what I wanted to in the AFL β premierships, memories, friendships that will last forever. But deep down, Iβve always had this fire to test myself on another level. The NFL feels like the perfect final chapter,β Elliott said, visibly emotional.
Elliott, renowned for his spectacular marking ability and clutch performances, has long been admired for his athleticism β attributes that have reportedly caught the attention of several NFL scouts. Sources in the U.S. suggest that he could be trialed as a wide receiver or punt returner, positions that suit his explosive speed and aerial prowess.
Collingwood president Jeff Browne paid tribute to Elliottβs contribution to the club, calling him βa once-in-a-generation talent and an even better teammate.β
> βJamieβs given everything to the black and white. If this is his next chapter, weβll all be behind him,β Browne said.
If successful, Elliott would join the likes of Jarryd Hayne and Valentine Holmes, who famously transitioned from the AFL and NRL to the NFL.
For Elliott, though, itβs more than a sporting switch β itβs a dream realized.
> βThis isnβt goodbye,β he smiled. βItβs just the start of something new.β
