Bears add OT Roy Mbaeteka through NFL's International Player Pathway program

(670 The Score) The Bears have added Roy Mbaeteka, an offensive tackle from Nigeria, to their roster through the NFL's International Player Pathway program.

The 6-foot-8, 331-pound Mbaeteka was on the Giants' practice squad last season after never playing football previously. He was discovered and trained by former Giants pass rusher Osi Umenyiora, who works with the NFL as part of the IPP program.


The 23-year-old Mbaeteka is expected to be with the Bears this weekend as part of their rookie minicamp at Halas Hall.

The NFL's IPP program was started in 2017 and has since produced 37 players who have reached the NFL.
