It was pretty sweet seeing quite a few Nigerian born players getting drafted. I am pretty sure Amobi Okoye is the the highest first rounder from Nigeria. Plus he is only 19. He also shares the last name with Christaian Okoye, the last Nigerian to make a big splash in the NFL apart from Adewale Ogunleye.
Another Nigerian that got drafted but in the later rounds was
Chinedum Ndukwe who in the video below knocks Calvin Johnson Senselsess. As you can see, these Naija Boys can hit.





i love thsi i love nigerians
