Craigwell admired the pace of the game and the athleticism of the players, and decided he wanted to play rugby. Craigwell began playing rugby in July 2010, having never played rugby a day in his life. Craigwell was a fast learner, and by August 2010 Craigwell was playing in the USA Rugby Men's 7s All-Star Championships.
