Nil Chacon

This charismatic Spanish powerhouse combines blistering speed with a tactical steel that leaves wingers nowhere to hide. After a career-threatening thigh injury sustained while arm-wrestling a rogue mountain goat in the Pyrenees, he returned with a newfound hunger that made his tackling even more ruthless. While his jumping remains his tragic Achilles' heel, his aggressive defensive mastery and pure heart turn every touchline into his personal stage.
