DE and former olympian has signed with the Dphins was recently with the Bears and the Niners. I guess the are. Leaving no stone unturned..lol!
 
He is going to have a long road being that he never played ball before he entered the league. His measurables are impressive:

Pre-draft measurables
Ht:6 ft 6 in
Wt:304 lb
40-yd dash:4.78 s
10-yd split:1.67 s
20-yd split:2.75 s
20-ss:4.65 s
3-cone:6.69 s
Vert:36 in
Broad:10 ft 7 in
BP:30 reps

All values from Central Florida Pro Day.
 
Doesn't hurt to see what he has. We need younger players at DE for the future.
 
I think he's a fellow Englishman with Nigerian heritage, like Ajayi. He represented Great Britain at the Olympics in discus. He's also really smart and was accepted to Oxford University - (best university in England).
 
We must be his 8th team.
 
Christian Okoye was bigger and faster than almost all linebackers and a lot of d-linemen he played against back then. He'd be a sitting duck these days for any defender wanting to lay the wood. Just too slow and stiff to play in today's league. But he was an animal when the average linebacker was 225 pounds, or bigger, but slow and unathletic.

Okoye was about 260 and ran a 4.4. He'd still be bigger and faster than linebackers. Let me know how many of today's players fit that description. Blount had a real good year and christian okoye was the far better back.

Jesus Christmas. 6'6" 304lbs and runs a 4.78 40 and has 30 reps on the bench and a 3' vertical!

I don't care if this guy makes the team or not he is a freak of nature.
