Rugby Player/Boxer With No Football Experience Drafted By NFL Team Because He’s An Athletic Freak

The Buffalo Bills made a notable pick in the later round of the NFL draft.

In the seventh round of the 2024 NFL draft, the Bills selected Travis Clayton, an English rugby player who also dabbled in boxing and participated in the NFL’s International Player Pathway program, which scouts athletes from other countries that have NFL potential.

According to draft expert Daniel Jeremiah, Clayton will play offensive tackle and is an absolute athletic freak.

“This dude is 6^7. he is 301 pounds. he’s a tackle and he ran 4.81. I say he’s a tackle, he’s from England. sp hasn’t played, he’s played soccer, he’s been a boxer, and he’s been a rower. I don’t have any idea of how any of that translates to the NFL, but I watched 15 minutes of myself watching him workout, and I’ve convinced myself that in the sixth round, this guy is going to become an unbelievable player.”

Workout videos of Clayton have since gone viral after he was drafted.
