#NFL needs to scout overseas harder; Look at these players

We have helped several players get a shot from overseas, and we will not stop. We have been reviewing film now for weeks on players overseas and I want to discuss some players that deserve a shot in the NFL. At least bring them in for a workout or a mini camp. I think they can become good players in the NFL.
