The NFL is the highest level of football in the world. Normally, athletes go from playing at the high school level, then college, and the best of the best make it to the NFL. However, the NFL is working on creating a different route to success catered to international athletes.
The NFL is set to host a combine on October 12th, similar to the one in Indianapolis before the draft, in London, England. The NFL has invited 44 athletes from 14 different countries to the International Combine. The league is hoping to expose football globally, as well as scout new talent.
