Didn't realize he was back with the Jags. Just caught a nice 15 yard pass.

Do these prospects have any potential?

There will be guys who find their way im sure. Football isn't that complicated

 

[T-Boone]

I could be wrong but I think the Australian / Islander starting left tackle for the Eagles went through this program

Great kid and great family. Work in the same field as his mom. Always greeted with a “Go Irish”☘️

NFL Announces International Player Pathway Program Class of 2024 | NFL Football Operations

Louis Rees-Zammit is probably the best known athlete in the group. He's a Welsh rugby player who would have been a regular starter in their national team. He's training to be a RB/WR probably in the mould of Aussie Jaryd Hayne who played for the 49ers in a few preseasons. All the Irish lads are specialists. NFL changed the rules now to allow all 32 teams to carry one international players on their practice squad so there's a lot more opportunities for these guys now to stick around on teams, get coaching and develop.

correct here is the wiki for the history of the program's output

Efe Obada who is a Dlineman for the Panthers is another great success story of the program

jaryd Hayne played regular season games for the 49ers as a running back (I actually think he was the starting RB in one game) and punt returner having never played American football before. He was an unbelievably good rugby league player. Probably the best attacking rugby / rugby league player of the last 30 years.
People should look up his 2009 NRL highlights.

Horrible development.

Five years from now, every TE/WR in the league will be doing that annoying euro-catch.

Disagree. I think he has been unlucky and should not be where he is. I’ve meet him.

Milk is snapping to the Irish lads at the combine now
