Maro Itoje

Maro Itoje is one of those rugby players who feels like a force of nature. At 195 centimeters he's an imposing lock for Saracens, but what I respect most is the leadership: captaining England and most recently leading the British and Irish Lions is an enormous responsibility he carries with real composure. He signed his first pro deal with Saracens back in 2012 and debuted the next year, so he's grown up inside that club. He's also thoughtful off the pitch, the sort of athlete who clearly thinks beyond the game. For me, he embodies the modern professional: powerful, articulate, and genuinely influential.

Oghenemaro Miles Itoje (born 28 October 1994) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a lock for Premiership Rugby club Saracens. At international level, he is the current captain of the England national team, and the most recent captain of the British & Irish Lions. Itoje signed his first professional contract with Saracens in 2012, making his debut the following year.
