Los Angeles Chargers' CJ Okoye never played an organized football game in his life until Saturday night when he secured his first-ever sack, which caused the sideline to erupt.
Yes, you read that correctly.
As Bennett was scrambling out of danger, he didn’t see Okoye barreling in behind him. A perfectly timed dive and wrap of the legs secured the sack. "It's a historic performance," Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said after the game of Okoye."This guy, as you guys know, his story is remarkable. The International Pathway Program, this guy's never played in a game. For him to go in his first NFL game to have a sack, our guys said if he gets a sack we were going to get a 15-yard [celebration penalty]."
"You saw that sideline," he continued."That's what the NFL's about, great stories like that – game ball for CJ and a memorable moment for our whole team."
