The NFL's International Player Pathway (IPP) program has offered a platform for 13 young hopefuls to pursue their dreams of playing in the NFL. After ten weeks of intense training in Bradenton, Florida, these prospects showcased their skills in front of NFL scouts. Since 2017, 41 IPP graduates have made it to the NFL, with notable players like Jordan Mailata from Australia joining teams. The program highlights the journey of athletes, some without prior football experience, as they adapt to the demands of American football in hopes of securing a professional contract.
They enter as raw prospects with little or no experience in American football. Some have excelled previously in other sports, some have no experience whatsoever as professional athletes. But they all have one thing in common: the dream of making it in the NFL.
Since its inception in 2017, 41 IPP graduates have signed with NFL teams, and there are 23 currently on its teams' rosters. These include Jordan Mailata, a former rugby league player...who won the Super Bowl in February as an offensive lineman with the Philadelphia Eagles.
