English rugby star risking it all with NFL switch
(CNN)If a New Year heralds a fresh start, then for Christian Wade — who has left a prolific rugby career for a shot at the NFL — January 2019 will be more of a leap into the unknown.

American football has a long history of welcoming players from different athletic backgrounds, or of watching players leave to pursue opportunities in another sport. Few cross-code players, however, have pedigree quite like Wade.
