The Cincinnati Bengals' undrafted free agent Dante Barnett from London, England, is making waves as part of the International Pathway Program. This unique initiative allows international players to join NFL teams without counting against the regular roster limit. Barnett, of Jamaican descent, initially played college football in the U.S. before returning to England, but is now back in the NFL mix.

If Barnett secures a spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster, he will be an asset in the trench as a defensive tackle. His inclusion could also enable the team to expand their practice squad by one additional player, allowing for more depth as they prepare for the upcoming season. As the Bengals look to bolster their defensive line, Barnett’s journey reflects a growing trend of international talent in the NFL.
