NFL Draft 2017: Arsenal fan Jermaine Eluemunor explains his journey from London to the Draft

When Jermaine Eluemunor attempted to watch his beloved Arsenal play Liverpool in October 2007, he can’t have imagined it would lead him to where he is now.

Instead of catching the Gunners draw 1-1 with their opponents at Anfield, he had his attention grabbed by the bright light and big hits in the NFL.

The 22-year-old grew up in Chalk Farm, London, and soon played for the London Blitz, before moving to New Jersey with his father, aged 14.

From there he’s battled his way through in the United States and after impressing at Texas A&M, he’s set to take part in the 2017 NFL Draft.
