Redskins receive German defensive lineman David Bada via international pathway program

The locker room in Ashburn, Virginia, just got a bit more culturally diverse thanks to one new addition.

The Washington Redskins were assigned David Bada, a defensive lineman from Munich, Germany, as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program.

The NFC East was chosen for the fourth year of the program, which gives players from other countries a shot at making an NFL roster. Four teams are allocated a player each year, and they’re allowed an 11th practice squad spot to keep that player for up to two seasons.
