The South African who loves to tackle for the Chicago Bears – Dieter Eiselen

Loading player...
Dieter Eiselen was born in Pretoria and attended school in Stellenbosch at the Paul Roos Gymnasium and he has just been signed for a fourth season of the Chicago Bears, a professional American football team. Even though he loves rugby and would love to see his former class mate, Herschel Jantjies back in the Bok team, Eiselen swapped rugby for weight-lifting at school and only started playing American football when he arrived in the US. Eiselen told BizNews how he came to love American football, about his selfless role in the offensive line of the Bears, how he loved to tackle and his 100% chance of picking up injuries in gridiron. Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.
