British Rugby Star Travis Clayton Makes NFL Debut with Buffalo Bills
British rugby star Travis Clayton is set to make waves in the NFL as he joins the Buffalo Bills, despite never having played a competitive game of American football. The 23-year-old offensive lineman, who last played rugby for Basingstoke RFC, was selected in the seventh round of the NFL draft, following in the footsteps of other British rugby stars who have made the transition to American football.
Clayton’s move comes after Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit signed with the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year, and Northampton Saints player Harry Mallinder also announced his move to the NFL. These players are part of a growing trend of British rugby league stars seeking new opportunities and challenges in the NFL.
Despite the risks and challenges of transitioning to a new sport, Clayton is determined to make the most of this opportunity. With his impressive physical attributes and dedication to training, he is ready to prove himself on the football field.
As Clayton embarks on this new chapter in his athletic career, he joins a select group of British players who have dared to dream big and pursue their passion for American football. The journey ahead may be tough, but with hard work and determination, Clayton has the potential to make a name for himself in the NFL and inspire others to follow their dreams.
