Okoye Turns 21 [ESPN the Mag]

[Keith]

Nice, easy read on Okoye, shedding a little light on him and the team. I'm going to be very interested in seeing how much he has progressed after his first NFL offseason.

Four days after his birthday, Okoye celebrated at his party at the Westin hotel in Houston with a glass of red wine. A big glass, but not much more. Forget the blurs and bumbles of bar hopping, the endless shots, the Amy Winehouse hangover. Okoye, who last year was the youngest NFL player in 30 years, was sober and happy and wasn't photographed doing anything stupid. Bloggers might be bummed, but kids who look up to him aren't. And Okoye wanted not only to enjoy his birthday but to actually remember it, too.
