Lawrence Okoye, DE (6-foot-5 3/8, 304 pounds) — An Olympic discus thrower, Okoye reportedly turned down an offer to attend Oxford University to try out for the NFL. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.88 and 4.78 seconds. He performed the short shuttle in 4.38 seconds, had a 10-foot-5 broad jump and a 35-inch vertical jump. His arms were measured to be 35 inches long.
It looked like from the group that worked out Sunday, about half will be given the opportunity to sign with a team as a free agent and attend training camp. Okoye looked like he could be drafted. He was unbelievably active and incredibly explosive in drills. It was a real, first-class show.
Do we really need to share this kind of stuff? Doesn’t this young man have enough on his plate? Why do we need to make it worse for people who are already struggling?
And what about his wife? Clearly both of them smart people, likely fell in love and WOW… their life is not perfect and we need to watch and feel good about this? YUCK x 1 million.
I see pain and heartache from what appears to be a very seriously talented person.

Well, I hope you are joking… This “clown” has a wonderful wife and family at home and his dumb ass want’s to deal with hookers… I can’t feel sorry for people like him - do what’s right!!! Yes, he lost his way by getting caught doing something illegal. If this site gonna support illegal activities then fine - I will never scoop that low to be apart of anything.
