GAA goalkeepers Rory Beggan, Mark Jackson and Charlie Smyth were all in action at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Sunday in a bid to impress club scouts and earn a roster spot.

Their chances are raised thanks to the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, an initiative launched by the league to develop international prospects and expand the league's global reach. The IPP recently expanded to include kickers and punters.
