At the conclusion of training camp, players will be eligible for an international player practice squad exemption. The exemption gives teams space for an eleventh practice squad member, though the player is ineligible to be activated during the season. Players taking part in the 2019 program: David Bada, Defensive End, Germany, Age: 23 Bada currently plays in the German Football League’s top division for the Schwabisch Hall Unicorns. He previously played for the Ingolstadt Dukes, where he developed as a pass rusher. Moubarak Djeri, Defensive Tackle, Germany, Age: 22 Born in Togo and moved to Germany in 2007, Djeri played for the Cologne Crocodiles of the German Football League. He spent five seasons with the club before trying out for the Arizona Cardinals in 2017. He signed with the Cardinals and participated in OTAs before being released the day before training camp. Valentine Holmes, Running Back/Wide Receiver/Kick Returner, Australia, Age: 23 A professional rugby player from Australia’s National Rugby League, Holmes signed his first contract with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at age 17 and made his professional debut at the age of 19. He represented Australia in the 2017 Rugby World Cup at the winger and fullback positions. Jakob Johnson, Fullback, Germany, Age: 24 Johnson played for the Stuttgart Scorpions of the German Football League before moving to the United States. He was recruited by the University of Tennessee after playing one season of high school football. Originally recruited as a linebacker, Johnson transitioned to a tight end during his sophomore season. Durval Neto, Defensive Tackle, Brazil, Age: 25 Neto has played in Brazil for the past four seasons on two of the country’s best teams. The former judo champion prior has been praised for his great athletic ability and willingness to learn. Maximo Sanchez, Linebacker, Mexico, Age: 25 Sanchez has played in multiple domestic leagues in Mexico. He was selected to represent the country for Team World against the USA U19 team. He currently plays for Tech Monterrey, one of the best university programs in Mexico. Christian Wade, Running Back/Kick Returner, England, Age: 27 Wade represented the English National Rugby Team at the U16, U18 and U20 levels and was selected to the British and Irish Lions squad, the highest honor as a rugby player. His 82 Premiership Rugby tries (touchdowns) ranks third on the league’s all-time list. So, can we have 2 allotments? asking for a friend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 4.53 40! I'm intrigued by this guy. Not expecting or predicting anything but it should be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 18 hours ago, TigerJ said: He actually had a pro day, and ran a 4.53 40. I didn't see any other stats. That is a good speed, but not off the charts. It looks like he's real tough with great balance. It will be interesting to see if he can make the transition. There are things that look similar about the two games, but there are things that are very, very different. The 4.53 40 isnt going to blow anyone away but I read that he said he hits top speed at about the 50-60 meter mark. When younger he ran 100m sub 11 seconds. I know he is older , playing in pads, and the average play in the NFL isnt very long but it would be nice to know that one possible RB on the Bills roster has take it to the house speed.

Mat68 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Developmental back. Seems to have soft hands. At his age, there isnt much time to wait for him to develop. The exemption makes it as low risk as can be. With Gore and McCoy he could pick up alot fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a chance, and there's essentially no risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I try not to engage in unwarranted projection this early on, but I'm really excited about this guy's potential. I suppose anything's possible at this point, but his resume is impressive. He's definitely tough enough to play in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
