Aidan O'Shea playing American Football? We can see it now.

Mayo's finest is heading Stateside to try his hand at a different kind of football. The destructive Breaffy man has already reached the top at this side of the pond so, now, he's going to see how effective he is with an oval ball made of pig skin. As part of AIB GAA's #TheToughest Trade documentary that saw Jackie Tyrrell try out baseball, Aaron Kernan heading to Sunderland and David Bentley play with Crossmaglen, Aidan O'Shea will be sampling American Football. With Brendan Maher set to swap sports and try out cricket, O'Shea is the latest in line to trade in what he's comfortable with and best at. More details will be revealed next week but if it's anything like Jackie Tyrell's adventures last year, it will be well worth the watch. We just hope he doesn't get too good at it and never comes back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESwUGLhhfpc
