NFL Star: Amobi Okoye

Nigerian born NFL Star, Amobi Okoye moved with his family to the United States over a decade ago, and has now become the youngest player to be drafted at the age of 19 into the NFL by the Houston Texans in the first round.

Amobi Okoye turned 23, and he began the birthday celebration with a series of physical activity events which started with the “Kick-Off 4 Kids” Physical activity football camp, and ended on the basketball court, a yearly event titled as “Celebrity Basketball Game” . His team “defensive linesmen” won the celebrity basketball game competition.
