Are you talking about NFL Europe? That really wasn't about developing international talent but more about developing practice squad players.
Anyways there have been a couple of players that have succeed from the new international pathway program. Panthers had one from England and New England had one from Germany who contributed last season.
Anyways the sport has grown since the 90s; The German & Austria league is growing along with the rest of Europe. Mexico finally has a professional league as well has a strong College & High School football tradition. Japan can say the same thing about their football.
