Nigerian players make waves in NFL through IPP program.
The Green Bay Packers have been allocated Nigerian DL Kenneth Odumegwu as part of the NFL International Player Pathway program. The program aims to provide elite international athletes with the opportunity to compete at the NFL level and ultimately work to earn a spot on an NFL roster. Odumegwu was converted to football via Educational Basketball and attended Osi Umenyiora's NFL Africa Touchdown Camp in Accra, Ghana, where he was named defensive Most Valuable Player.
