Here’s What Happened When NFL Star Nick Mangold Labelled Premier League Teams On A Map

The New York Jets center took a pen out of his legendary beard and took a geography test.

While he was visiting the UK ahead of the new NFL season, we asked New York Jets center Nick Mangold to label Premier League football clubs on a map. This is how he got on...

BuzzFeed / EA Sports

1. First up... Chelsea. Here's what Nick went for:

BuzzFeed

Verdict: NOPE.

BuzzFeed

It's fine, he's just getting warmed up... that's all.

2. Next... Norwich City. Nick went east:

BuzzFeed

But maybe not far enough east.

Verdict: CLOSE(ish), the Canaries were probably one of the tougher geographical tests.

BuzzFeed

Nick's put Norwich in Hull, there, just in case you were wondering.

3. Time for Aston Villa... Here's Nick's guess:

BuzzFeed

Looks goooood.

Verdict: Almost nailed it.

BuzzFeed

We're giving Nick a pass for that, that's pretty close.

4. Next up, it's Arsenal. Here's Nick's guess:

BuzzFeed

Verdict: Not far off, but that'd be a bit of a commute from north London.

BuzzFeed

5. Now for Everton, one of Liverpool's two big clubs.

BuzzFeed

Verdict: Spot on!

BuzzFeed

You can walk tall in the blue part of Merseyside, Nick.

6. Heading over to Wales now. Here's Nick's guess at Swansea:

BuzzFeed

Verdict: SO close. Just on the wrong bit of Welsh coastline.

BuzzFeed

They probably won't admit it, but there's a fair few people in the UK who would struggle with locating Swansea on a map.

7. Now back to the city of Liverpool. Nick went close to where he put Everton:

BuzzFeed

Verdict: But not close enough.

BuzzFeed

Blackpool's nice this time of year though... maybe.

8. Time for for a club famous with Americans for their association with Newcastle Brown Ale. Nick went very far south west.

BuzzFeed

Very far south west...

Verdict: Uh... let's not talk about it.

BuzzFeed

Moving on...

9. Manchester City. Nick went north:

BuzzFeed

Verdict: But put Man City in the Kielder Forest Park (nice place):

BuzzFeed

That really would be a long commute for City fans.

10. Time for Tottenham – the team that will soon be hosting NFL matches.

BuzzFeed

Verdict: Not tooooo bad, but Nick's zero for three on London clubs.

BuzzFeed

11. Okay, last one. We've given Nick a second chance at pinpointing Manchester. This time with United. Here's what he went for:

BuzzFeed

Well that's slightly further south than where he put City.

Verdict: That's the North Pennines, which much like the Kielder Forest, is a beautiful place, but sadly it's not Manchester.

While he was in the UK for the launch of Madden NFL 16, Nick Mangold gave England and Tottenham Hotspur footballer Harry Kane a lesson in football... which is a severely confusing sentence:
