What comes as a massive development for African players, the NFL is going to set up a developmental camp in Ghana to provide them with better opportunities to excel in the sport. After successfully finishing a camp last weekend with Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, the league announced another three-day camp.
Jeremiah is of Ghanaian descent and he now has a huge role to play so that more youngsters from Ghana can make a name for themselves by playing the great game. The three day camp will take place in the capital of Accra in June. As per Bradenton.com, the camp will have players who previously featured in regional events led by Osi Umenyiora.
Osi is a name to reckon with in the world of the NFL.

The opportunities that will come to so many Africans cannot be understated, and we are thankful for them. We cannot wait to show the world what we can do.”
