London's Jermaine Eluemunor will take part in the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine later this month.

The 6ft 4in offensive tackle has been invited to showcase his skills to NFL teams after impressing in College Football for Texas A&M.

The Combine, which takes place in Indianapolis from Feb. 28 to March 6, will see more than 300 prospects undergo examination from coaches, scouts and doctors from the 32 NFL teams ahead of April's Draft.

Eluemunor revealed he took up the sport after seeing the Miami Dolphins host the New York Giants at Wembley in 2007.

He said: "It's funny, the way I got into it was this: I went home one night, I flipped on TV and I saw the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants playing. Eli Manning -- he must have been so young.

"That game was at Wembley. I loved the way they were hitting each other, the intensity, so I began Googling American football and got more into it."

Eluemunor follows fellow Britons Jack Crawford, Menelik Watson and Jay Ajayi in taking part in the Combine.
