03.06.2025 - UK NFL Players
Good Evening all,
While the NFL season is in its pre-season phase and news is a bit slow, I thought I would highlight some NFL players who hail from the UK (mostly) 😉
Efe Obada - Defensive End. Born April 1992, Efe lived in the UK from the age of 10 and continued to do so, playing for the London Warrior's before moving to the US and playing for The Cowboys (2015) Kansas City (2016) Atlanta Falcons (2016) Carolina Panther's (2017-2020) Buffalo Bills (2021) Washington Commanders (2022-2024)
Louis Rees-Zammit - Wide Receiver. Born in 2001, Louis was a Rugby player in the UK until he decided to make the switch to the NFL in 2024. Originally drafted by Kansas City, he was released and picked up by Jacksonville Jaguars.
Adedayo Odeleye - Defensive End. Born in 1997, Adedayo lived in the UK from 9 and played for Belin Thunder in 2021, from there he moved to play for the Houstan Texans (2022-2023) and is currently at the Baltimore Ravens (2024-present)
UK doesn't have the strongest representation in the NFL but that will surely change in the coming years with the International player pathway program and the popularity of the NFL in the UK growing.
Catch you again soon
01.06.2025 - How it began
Hello,
Exciting to see all the NFL teams social media streams going into overdrive as the pre-season starts to kick off. I have only been following the NFL for about 2 and a bit seasons, having picked up around Christmas 2022 to watch the back end of that season and running into the play-offs, my team of choice initially was the Carolina Panthers. Being someone that likes a challenge and being a bit different, I looked for the least well supported team in the UK from yougov and the Panthers came up trumps. They had an interim coach in charge and I enjoyed the of style of running game that they played, sadly at the end of the season they hired a new coach (Frank Reich I believe) and the next season was a disaster, my enjoyment and enthusiasm took a dive but speaking with some friends who I found also watched the NFL, I got a renewed sense of enjoyment from watching the games that were on the TV.
I have teams I am partial too still, the Panthers, as I would love to see them do well, the Vikings through friends but then there is a great admiration for indiviudals too, Jared Goff, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Bryce Young (I hope he comes out tops eventually) C J Stroud, Ja'marr Chase, Saquon Barkley all players I really think are exciting and I can't wait to see how the season pans out!
30.05.2025 - Colour me surprised
Morning,
Well, after yesterday's post I am a little surprised by the way ticket sales for the UK games went yesterday. Seeing an 'X' repost from Phobe Schecter yesterday saying ticket master had paused sales on the site due to high demand, imagine my surprise when I received an email yesterday at 7:15PM saying there were still tickets available?
Thoroughly confused by this, I went digging around and there were indeed still tickets to both games available, even more digging unearthed a general feeling that the increase in ticket prices from previous years seems to be putting people off, Cat 8 tickets (2nd cheapest) were up from around £88 last year to £104 and checking this morning there are still seats available, are the US teams pricing themselves out over here? or do the teams coming over this year not have the same pull? Another oddity, is that tickets for the Jaguars v the Rams went on sale seemingly last night, not consistent with the comm's that I have been recieving.... all very odd.
Will see how sales for those go today, have a great Friday!
29.05.2025 - NFL London!
Morning all,
Exciting times today as tickets for NFL London go on sale today, tickets for Vikings v the Brown's which is to be played 05/10 and the Broncos v the Jets 13/10 will be available to join the virtual waiting from 11AM UK time and then 12noon the randomly assigned queue position. This randomly assigned ticketing system is I believe, the way alot of events now allocate ticket queuing placement, last year when looking for tickets, I was placed somewhere around the 180k place in the queue, where a friend of mine who joined the waiting room at the same time was allocated place 87, so good luck if you are looking for tickets today.
There is also the opportunity to buy tickets for the Wembley game later in the week when the Rams will be playing the Jags on the 19/10 and tickets I believe go on sale for that tomorrow.
Have a great day, catch you soon.
