There has been some success with the draft and international born players. Last year alone, there were five players that were drafted. If Andreas Knappe gets drafted, he would be the pride of Denmark. Knappe stands at 6-foot-8 and weighs 325 lbs. Surely, most people probably has never heard of Andreas Knappe.
Knappe has started over 25 games at UConn. Knappe will be a bit of a long shot to get drafted into the NFL. However, he could be a guy that’s brought in as an undrafted free agent and have the opportunity to make a team.
