Researchers from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this week to witness first-hand the NFL’s International Combine.

The International Combine is a behind-closed-doors invitational scouting showcase in which talented athletes are tested across numerous disciplines to evaluate their American Football talents.

Players based in º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ took part in the event, vying to impress NFL officials.

The NFL Academy recently moved its operations to the region in a ground-breaking partnership with both the University and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ College.

The NFL Academy provides students aged 16-19 with pathways into employment, further education and the opportunity to play NCAA college football in the United States by combining full-time education with professional-level American Football coaching.

The day also allowed those in attendance to network, collaborate and share research ideas.
