The Buffalo Bills were one of the teams allocated a player in the International Pathway Program (IPP) prior to the 2019 season. While those players don’t always turn into bona fide NFL players, sometimes the program works. One such player, defensive end Efe Obada, actually signed a free-agent contract with Buffalo this offseason.
As die-hard fans, we tend to latch on to players that have little chance of making the final roster. We watch those players in preseason action and, I think, at least, we see a little bit of our own hopes and dreams in those players.
