I don't know why this article is flagged. Okoye is set to be the youngest NFL player ever and a potential top-ten pick, and thus an article on him clearly deserves inclusion in Wikipedia.

Is he related to "The Nigerian Nightmare" Christian Okoye?

He is not related.

He is American citizen yet?

Yes he is an American Citizen now.

[edit] So young

He is young because he was a math genius so the school skipped him because he knew algebra better than his grade school Teacher.

After attending the same school as his siblings in Nigeria, he missed them a great deal during school in Alabama. He then chose to test out of middle school to be closer to his siblings.

[edit] Second-highest draft pick from Louisville

I don't know where to find overall draft positions from before the AFL-NFL merger, so it is unclear whether Lenny Lyles, selected by the Colts in 1958, was a higher choice. Okoye is, however, the highest draft pick from Louisville since the merger. I have updated the Pro career section of the article to reflect this. —Travis^talk 15:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

The ESPN article lists his birthplace as Lagos, but most other sources I find list Anambra State (eg [1] and [2]). I'll be changing this to listing him as from Anambra State, but will note the ESPN article says something else. Picaroon (t) 04:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
