Das '''International Player Pathway Program (IPPP)''' ist ein Programm der [[National Football League]] (NFL), um die Anzahl der nicht-nordamerikanischen [[American Football|American-Football]]-Spieler in der NFL zu erhöhen. Das Programm wurde 2017 als Teil der Strategie der NFL gegründet, weltweit zu wachsen.

Zuvor gab es ähnliche Regelungen bereits von 2004 bis 2013.

Beginnend mit der NFC South erhielten die vier Mannschaften jeweils einer der acht Divisionen für ein Jahr einen zusätzlichen Platz im Practice Quad für einen Spieler des NFL-IPP-Programms. Für die Saison 2023 erhielten die beiden verbliebenen Divisionen diesen zusätzlichen Platz. Ab 2024 hat jedes der 32 NFL-Teams einen reservierten Platz für einen internationalen Spieler.

=== NFL International Development Practice Squad Programm (2004 bis 2009) ===-->

=== NFL Undiscovered (2016) ===
Die britische ehemalige NFL-Spieler [[Aden Durde]] – damals für die Entwicklung der Liga im Vereinigten Königreich zuständig – und der zweimalige [[Super Bowl|Super-Bowl]]-Gewinner [[Osi Umenyiora]] organisierten Anfang 2016 Trainingsprogramme und Try-Outs für europäische Spieler, die im nationalen Amateur-Football spielten. Die Aktion war nicht von der NFL organisiert, diese unterstützte sie dann jedoch. So entstand eine Dokumentarserie namens ''NFL Undiscovered.''<ref>{{Internetquelle |url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRdw3IjKY2gmSwA4gV8OaocR4psD1sa6w |titel=NFL Undiscovered: The Story of Moritz Böhringer, Anthony Dable & Harry Innis - YouTube |abruf=2023-10-08}}</ref>

Zwei Spieler wurden in der Folge von NFL-Teams verpflichtet. Der Deutsche [[Moritz Böhringer]] von den [[Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns]] wurde im [[NFL Draft 2016]] an 180. Stelle von den [[Minnesota Vikings]] ausgewählt. Damit war er der erste Europäer, der, ohne [[College Football]] gespielt zu haben, in die NFL gedraftet wurde.<ref>{{Internetquelle |autor=Björn Goldmann |url=https://www.waz.de/sport/sportmix/article11768325/moritz-boehringer-winkt-dank-amateurvideo-ein-nfl-vertrag.html |titel=Moritz Böhringer winkt dank Amateurvideo ein NFL-Vertrag |werk=Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung |hrsg=Funke Mediengruppe |datum=2016-04-25 |abruf=2016-05-01 |sprache=de}}</ref> Nach den Vorbereitungsspielen schaffte er es jedoch nicht in den endgültigen Kader, wurde jedoch in den [[Practice Squad]] aufgenommen. Böhringer wurde 2018 ins offizielle IPPP aufgenommen und von den [[Cincinnati Bengals]] verpflichtet. Der Franzose [[Anthony Dablé-Wolf|Anthony Dablé]], Spieler der [[New Yorker Lions|New Yorker Lions Braunschweig]], wurde von den [[New York Giants]] verpflichtet. Er schaffte es nicht in den endgültigen Kader.

== Geschichte ==

=== 2017 ===
2017 konnten die vier Mannschaften der [[NFC South]] jeweils einen zusätzlichen ausländischen Spieler in den [[Practice Squad]] auf.<ref>{{Literatur |Titel=International players added to four practice squads |Sammelwerk=NFL.com |Datum= |Online=https://www.nfl.com/news/international-players-added-to-four-practice-squads-0ap3000000811256 |Abruf=2018-02-15}}</ref> Dieser durfte jedoch für diese Saison nicht in die aktive Mannschaft aufgenommen werden. Auf Grund dieser Regelung wurden drei Briten und ein Deutscher in den Practice Squad aufgenommen.

Die [[New Orleans Saints]] verpflichteten für das Jahr 2017 den 24-jährigen [[Defensive Line|Defensive End]] Alex Jenkins, der aus [[Bath]] in [[Vereinigtes Königreich|Großbritannien]] stammt. Die [[Carolina Panthers]] verpflichteten für das Jahr 2017 den 24-jährigen Defensive End Efe Obada (geb. 23. April 1992 in Nigeria), der in Großbritannien aufwuchs. Die [[Atlanta Falcons]] verpflichteten für das Jahr 2017 den 26-jährigen [[Tight End]] Alex Gray, der aus [[Bishop Auckland]] in Großbritannien stammt. Die [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] verpflichteten für das Jahr 2017 den [[Linebacker]] [[Eric Nzeocha]] aus [[Ansbach]].<ref>{{Literatur |Titel=New program opens doors for four NFL hopefuls |Sammelwerk=ESPN.com |Datum= |Online=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21230190/how-international-player-pathway-program-opening-doors-four-nfl-hopefuls |Abruf=2018-02-15}}</ref>
