NFL Undiscovered programme returns
Thursday 23 February 2017 12:22, UK
NFL Undiscovered, the programme that found European talents Moritz Böhringer and Anthony Dable, is returning this month.
Former coach Aden Durde and double Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora will oversee a small group of international prospects for the benefit of NFL scouts.
Last year, Böhringer's selection by the Minnesota Vikings made him the first NFL player to have never played NCAA football beforehand.
