The Buffalo Bills announced that offensive tackle Travis Clayton has signed his rookie NFL contract. Clayton becomes the first of the team’s 2024 NFL Draft class to sign his deal, joining a list of 12 additional undrafted free agents who inked rookie contracts on Thursday.
Clayton comes to One Bills Drive by way of the International Player Pathway (IPP) program. He enters the NFL as one of 16 individuals selected to the IPP, having come to the United States after playing rugby — as inside center for Basingstoke in London 3 South West.
The IPP is the NFL’s current international program designed to help the sport of American football grow on the worldwide stage by providing athletes an opportunity to play professional football with the NFL.
