    NFC North get international players

    From an article on Osi Umenyiora's program to bring international athletes to the NFL.

    Five players are Nigerian, and two are from other countries. They won't count against the 90-person training-camp limit, and if retained on the practice squad, won't count against its limit. I have no idea whether 4/7 of them going to our division is a coincidence or balancing the competitive advantage. From Nigeria:

    offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka (Bears) and defensive lineman Kenneth Odumegwu (Packers).

    The NFL’s International Pathway Program will also give roster spots to Australian tight end Patrick Murtagh (Lions) and French defensive lineman Junior Aho (Vikings).
