- This is the story of how David Ojabo's NFL dream became a reality. The 21-year-old linebacker, who was raised in Aberdeen after moving from Nigeria aged seven, had been projected as a first-round pick before tearing an Achilles tendon in March. We were with him when he finally got the call from the @Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft...

As a Ravens fan, regardless of his injury, once he comes back, he and Oweh will be great together.
Oweh, but I know what you meant
When is he expected to be able to play in games again?
@@bolsbolbol368 about October maybe
Yes David!! So happy he’s joined the flock
Facts!!!
Born in Nigeria bred in scotland & made in America, what an athlete he is. Well done my man fae scotland.
He's not from Scotland.
Man I’m crying and I’m a Jets fan . I should be worried . Happy for Dave
@@williamredpath861 look at the title and he said that he came to America at 15 from scotland
@@venmo4milk887 wrong, the title says he's from Scotland when he's not. He was born and raised up to the age of 7 to Nigerian parents in Nigeria. There's nothing Scottish about him.
😊😊😊
Ravens are such a well run organization. Couldn’t have ended much better for him!
Wait, how? Do you mean like his injury?
*Could NOT have...
GO BLUE!
Nice
If he went to the lions a pick or two later would have been amazing. Same team as his teammate and same state
The fact that he probably told his mom that Baltimore is his top choice and where he hopes to land, and when she realize it’s them that called him.. yeeeaaahh buddy!
Welcome to the Flock!
I'm a Ravens fan born in Aberdeen, so this draft pick was extra special for me. Can't wait to see him do us proud and absolutely dominate this league. Not long now brother.
Where is Aberdeen? Scotland?
@@Mustang1984 yes, literally where Ojabo is from, which was said in the video…
Crazy considering both their journeys, but Oweh & Ojabo even being on the same NFL team together is wildly improbable! What an awesome story. Glad it ended up working out really well for him. Great fit.
Everyone here in Aberdeen rooting for you David! Go Scotland!
The dudes a stud mate, in a year or 2 he will be beast.
Hopefully get us some more Ravens fans in Scotland!
He'll also be cheered and loved in Aberdeen, Md. which is about 51 KM northeast of Baltimore.
@@shocktrauma85 repping here from aberdeen MD we cheering for him!
I love this kid already. So humble and appreciative. Can’t wait to see him in action.
It's always the humble guys that explode on the field. Super hype
So happy he went to the Ravens, jersey is already ordered.. #GoBlue
Thats lov!
I kind of wished they'd let him wear 00. But it's impossible to watch this without shedding a tear with him.
GO BLUE!
Bandwagon !!!! Now everyone is a raven fan
@@r.r4981 you know what happens when you assume right?
What an amazing young man. The fact he didn’t let his grades fall shows how dedicated this man is. He’ll be amazing in the NFL. Coming from humble beginnings and making the American dream real! Congrats young man!
The moment he started crying when his name was announced was soo raw. you could really feel his journey in his tears. i wish him the best in the nfl :)
14:25 brought tears to my eyes, that's 6-7 years of hard work every day. And that's just pure joy right there...can't wait to see u in Baltimore!!!!

Ohio state fan here, congratulations goes out to you! Make your family proud.
Dude this is so much more well-produced than a lot of stuff you see on the main channel. Love it.
Hi from Brazil! Really beautiful history. As a Ravens fan, I'm so proud of this choice and very confident about this year's team.

Ey man brazilian ravens✊🏼 saludos de México 😀
Beautiful story
Congratulations David! Extremely excited and happy for you. I cried the whole time watching this.
Happy for you and your family, go make us Celts proud!
Hes nigerian?
@@jimmybaldbird3853 He's been adopted by the Scottish, and Americans
@@mahatmasloth6543 he's not Scottish. He was born and bred for the first 7 years of his life in Nigeria. Both parents Nigerian. He lived in Scotland for another 8 years and has lived in America the following 7 years. He is a Nigerian with an Americal accent. There's nothing celtic about him. He might be liked in Scotland but that doesn't make him adopted either.
Lovely Story So amazing... I can't wait to follow the journey 💯💪
such a great story, best of luck to him, baltimore is the perfect place for him to develop and become the best him he can be
Baltimore welcomes you!! Can't wait to be at the stadium to see you play. Wishing you a speedy n full recovery. 💜💜

How do you block Oweh and Ojabo attacking from the same side of the Offensive Line with Calais in the middle!? 😲😬
Goodbye to sleep for Offensive Coordinators and O-Line Coaches! 😭😭
Travis Jones will be a monster on that line to 🔥
@@jerm98 That defense is loaded added Fuller and Houston ….if Bowser and Ojabo are healthy they are going to terrorize QB’s without blitzes 👀
