Hayden Smith (Jets) and Daniel Adongo (Colts) walked into the NFL and they weren't great rugby players. I expect George North would do more than okay, even without the pads.
the first guy only caught one pass.. the other guy played 2 games and didnt get 1 tackle..
Remember when Jarryd Hayne was supposed to dominate in the NFL?
He ended up being a bench warmer despite playing for one of the worst teams in the league.
He was like 27 and already past his prime. Obviously it was extremely unlikely a rugby player at that stage of his career could make it as a running back.

Matt Forte is 30. Frank Gore is 33.
Let's not make excuses for why a 27 year old professional rugby league player could barely make it above the level of waterboy in the NFL.
