Meet Gerhard de Beer, a giant South African looking to make a name for himself in American Football.

 

Gerhard de Beer a 23-year-old original born and raised in Pretoria has his sights set on making it big in the American NFL!

The talented South African started out playing “all” the sports that he possibly could… from cricket to rugby, tennis and even gymnastics but now he is putting all his focus in American Football.

After graduating from the University of Arizona, the former star athlete was picked up as a free agent by NFL outfit the Buffalo Bills as part of a 90-member squad. However, the squad will be whittled down to 53 players after the last pre-season game, and de Beer will be going all out to ensure he makes the final cut.
