Former Nairobian Reese Odhiambo has become the 1st Kenyan ever to be drafted to an NFL team.


3 cheers and good luck Odhis. Don't mess it up

have no idea how the americans do their sports, but how would you compare this to say european football, is it like wanyama being signed by southampton or arsenal or something like that.

Hope he doesn't follow the usual black pro-athlete scripts.

1. Marry some cheerleader fisette or the many groupies that follow pro athletes
2. Get her pregnant or one of her many men help you
3. She then drives you crazy with an unbearable relationship
4. Get into a daily routine of nightly fights
5. You one day grab her by the arm after frustration
6. She calls the cops on you who kick you out of your house
7. She divorces you and gets custody of the kids and all your property
6. You end up if lucky as some gym instructor in a high school/college
8. If unlucky, you die of drug overdose, or end up in jail for substance abuse

Daniel Adongo was the first Kenyan to play in the NFL.

Yep I know that

I said Rees Odhiambo was the 1st Kenyan to be drafted.

Adongo was not drafted

This is just conjecture on your part. Maybe he still talks to his relatives in Kenya. Maybe he has even visited. We don't know yet. In any case he still Kenyan.



Its better to play baseball or basketball where contracts are guaranteed. Also NFL results in debilitating injuries. NFL Careers are too short. And players have no other options if they are terminated. At least in the NBA , if a team terminates your contract, you can go play in Europe which also offers good money. Also the average salary is just over half of what you stated
