TL;DR

The NFL International Player Pathway program has added eight players to NFL rosters for the 2023 season, including one Australian, one French, and six Nigerian players. The program aims to provide elite athletes from around the world with the opportunity to earn a spot on an NFL roster and increase the number of international players in the league. The six Nigerian players were discovered via Osi Umenyiora's The Uprise initiative and attended the inaugural NFL Africa talent camp in Ghana last year.
