Louis Rees-Zammit isn't the only Brit to enter the NFL this offseason, with English offensive tackle Travis Clayton being drafted in the seventh round by the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

Clayton, who is 6'7 and weighs over 300 lbs, grew up in Basingstoke. He was previously a part of the NFL Academy in London but restarted his NFL dream earlier this year by joining the International Player Pathway Program in 2024 alongside rugby star Rees-Zammit, who signed for the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month.

"It was all a bit of a blur, but luckily I managed to get on stage in time, dragged left, right and center," a still breathless Clayton said with a Bills cap on his head during a Zoom call.
