NFL Draft Finally Goes International

There has never been an NFL player to be drafted to not come from an American college, until this year at least. Moritz Boehringer is a Wide Receiver drafted by the Minnesota Vikings out of Germany. Moritz has only been playing football for 5 years but has stood out among his competition in the German professional league. He has a lot of raw talent and it will take him a while to adjust from competing against close to Division 3 level talent in Germany, to facing the best in the world, but the vikings believed in his potential enough to spend a draft pick on him. It will be interesting to see how his career plays out and how it will affect the popularity of American football in Europe.
