I know the #NFL is a cold business but watching the lack of concern or empathy from the scouts, coaches and observers following David Ojabo’s injury bugs me.

David Ojabo, a 6’4″, 250-pound defensive end, had a fantastic performance at the NFL combine, running a 4.55 40-yard dash. It makes him one of the fastest defensive linemen at the event this year.
Ojabo was born in Nigeria, grew up in Scotland, and travels to the United States in search of the next stage in his athletic career. In 13 games in 2021, the 21-year-old athlete had 35 tackles,12 for loss, 11 sacks, five forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He offered the Wolverines one of the deadliest pass rushes in NCAA football; along with Heisman runner-up Aidan Hutchinson (14 sacks).
