International prospects flock to London for NFL tryout
Associated PressLONDON — Jason Godrick plans to “dominate” as an NFL offensive lineman. “I’ve been blessed to be a quick learner, a very good student.” The 21-year-old Lagos native, who goes by “Chu,” was one of the more than 40 prospects — representing 13 countries — who competed in the NFL’s international combine Tuesday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “It was very big in Nigeria when he got signed.” Mbaeteka, who was released from the Giants practice squad last week, had participated in last year’s combine in London and earned an invitation to the Pathway program, whose most notable alum is Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata of Australia. “We don’t have that much time, especially the guys that come from other sports,” said Will Bryce, head of football development for NFL International. “Let’s go Chu!” fellow prospects yelled as Godrick ran around small cones placed near the 20-yard line.
