One of the more interesting developments of the last few years is the influx of international prospects into the NFL.
The League is working to expand the reach of American Football around the world — for instance, former New York Giants pass rusher Osi Umenyiora is an ambassador for the game in England. And with that increased outreach we are seeing more and more young men in other countries pick up the gam. That has lead to an increasing number of prospects from unlikely places winding up in the NFL.
For instance, Central Michigan offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann hails all the way from Austria.
