British discus thrower to the NFL?

Okoye spent the year on the 49ers practice squad. Probably another season or two before he makes the gameday roster.

Okoye is currently on the 49ers roster and does have a number assigned to him. He was suppose to see action last year but was placed on the Injured Reserve due to a PCL injury. He should be seeing some playing time this upcoming season.

In the NFL you get injured verry quickly (knees) no mather how big & fast you are .
