From everything "I" read on him ... He is from Nigera and he does have the last name Okoye. I am guessing that is like trying to find a Yoder or Lapp in the middle of Omish country? But nothing was written that he was related to directly or indirectly to Christian Okoye!

It's been mentioned several times in this thread...

Okoye = Smith

They're not related.

Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks!

I probably wasn't as coherant as I could have been, but if what Laz says is true and Okoye was getting double and triple teamed, and I have no reason to doubt it.....he was sure making Gray look good.

I'd love nothing more than a DT who could turn Hali or Allen loose like that.

btw ... just thought i'd saythat it was the first time i'd ever seen him play.

i have no idea about how good he is .... just really caught my eye when i saw the entire interior of the line go after him on that play.

Pepper or Sims?

Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing, but I did see him blow up a number of plays and there were 2 guys on him, not 1 just chipping him.

Mecca · 01-03-2007, 12:24 PM

We're at pick 24 now......with his age and the down DT year odds are he goes before our pick unless he totally blows his workout.

**AustinChief** · 01-03-2007, 12:26 PM

I would LOVE to get him for two simple reasons... he is SMART and he has a WORK ETHIC...

I would be perfectly happy seeing us trade up for him. I think the ONE glaring weakness for next year is DT.. the rest of the D is set for at least one more year.

Mecca · 01-03-2007, 12:28 PM

Better hope a ton of guys start declaring so he'll drop......when guys like Sam Baker decide they're not coming out that lessens our chance.

It's funny how many different reactions there are to the same player in the same game.

I thought he had an excellent game. The announcers paid a lot of attention to him. He seemed to disrupt/be in the backfield at least once every 5 plays or so, which for a DT is very good. I saw him break up some reverses which showed good concentration and discipline.

I noticed at the end of the game he appeared to be a little out of steam on some plays. He's still a kid though. Lot's of room for improvement.

I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing to draft someone so young. On one hand his maturity is outstanding, on the other hand he isn't even legal to drink or go out with the other players yet.

He looked good. Would be a nice addition. DT

Back to the work Ethic.... He doesn't need to worry about that.

Great post.

I thought he played very well, WF payed an awful lot of attention to him (I think Laz mentioned double teams).

I think he fits the Cover 2 very well, but like Mecca, I just don't see him being available. I can't imagine he'll have anything but stellar workouts...

I think it depends on his actual size. I don't care what the Louisville roster lists him at, if he ends up being 6'1, 290 at the Senior Bowl/combine, he won't go in the 1st round.

Teams will feel he can add weight because of his age.....it's a very very bad DT year. He's going to be considered the 2nd best DT in this draft, also all those 3-4 teams will view him as an end for them so he's going to have alot of teams looking.
