Cool Bills eyeing Okoye?

From RealFootball365.com
Quote:
The Buffalo Bills ' biggest downfall in their 7-9 2006 season was likely their defense's inability to stop the run. The unit finished 28th in that department, allowing opposing ball carriers to dictate the action nearly every weekend.

Recognizing their defense is in dire need of a stopper up the middle, the Bills looked closely at ex-Louisville tackle Amobi Okoye earlier this week.

Should the Bills draft his guy and is he related to the Nigerian Nightmare: Christian Okoye?

Re: Bills eyeing Okoye?

Okoye is a 19-year-old whiz kid who's playing the Senior Bowl -- youngest guy ever to do so. Now, on the plus side, that means that you'd be getting a smart, smart kid. On the down side, he's only 19. Is his body really physically ready to handle playing in the National Football League?

Personally, I think so. The kid is nineteen years old on paper, but he is playing like he is twenty-two. The fact that he has dominated the Senior Bowl practices and has a vast well of physical potential still to be tapped is only going to help his cause.

I don't think so. Both are Nigerian, but from different cities, and Amobi is the son of Augustine and Edna Okoye.

I wouldnt want a kid that young, he really hasnt developed fully yet. He may be a phenom, but I dont see it translating to what the Bills need or the NFL

The kid has the world of potential but it will take a few years before he reaches that potential. I can see him being a Top 15 pick based on his raw skill alone.
