Okoye at a Chicago Bears workout
ASM: You were not born in the United Stated, but you quickly adapted to life in the U.S.A. once you got here you basically picked up the game of football very quickly; once you chose to play it, how did you adapt so quickly to football?
Amobi: I chose football through a challenge from one of my best friends (till today) and one of my coaches back in high school, so that’s how I came to play it, by the way what was your second ques- tion again?
ASM: How did you adapt so quickly to the game?
Amobi: When you love something, you know … there is an instant gratification and love for it, as far as playing it, the camaraderie I got along with the life lessons outside from what I got from my home, was very intriguing to me, and I just wanted to be part of it as a challenge to me. You know I think I just picked it up by the want, the want to be good at it and the love of it.
ASM: Wonderful answer…. Now you were drafted by the Houston Texans and I mentioned earlier that you are considered the youngest player to ever get drafted in the NFL in the first round of the 2007 NFL DRAFT and you’ve been living in Houston area ever since, so what does the fact that the Houston Texans gave you such a chance at a young age to be a professional mean to you, overall?
