| A developing player with great upside, Okoye’s game has taken off the past two years. Looked sensational in the Senior Bowl and saw his draft grade soar. Offers potential as a two-gap end or possibly as a three-technique lineman. May need time to adjust to the level of competition in the NFL, yet he is a bright, hard-working individual who should have a long and productive football career. |
| Biography: |
Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior after
posting 55/12.5/8. Junior totals included 23 tackles. Entered college
at age 16 and will be just 19 years old when he is drafted.
Pos:
Explosive defender with terrific instincts. Quick off the snap,
plays with good pad level and gets a lot of force going up the field.
Makes plays laterally, effectively uses hand technique to protect
himself and rarely is off his feet. Chases hard to get involved in the
action and makes plays everywhere on the field.
Neg:
Lacks top playing strength, is slow getting off the blocks and can
be handled at the point. |
