I guarantee this guy will make the practice squad

I like this idea in a way, and hope he pans out. He has the measurables too, and his backstory is interesting.

What are his measurables and backstory? It's not in the OP's link. My google done broke.(I'm lazy)

This year the four NFC South teams will each be given an exemption for an 11th practice squad member as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program. They can't be activated during the year, but they also can't be cut.

Our international player is Efe Obada, and he's got a hell of a story.

Aged 10, he was trafficked to the UK, and then he and his sister were abandoned in freezing temperatures on the streets of London.

He bounced around the foster system. As a teenager he became involved in London's gangs, and saw three of his friends murdered.

Then he turned his life around. He got involved with American Football through the London Warriors, playing in his spare time while working as a security guard.

In 2015, after he's played just five games in an amateur league, the Cowboys signed him to their practice squad.

6'6" 255. 

He'll definitely have some good mentors with JP, CJ and the rest of the D-Line crew.

255 he'll need to put some weight on don't you think?
