    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.

    Ravens are such a well run organization. Couldn’t have ended much better for him!
  • 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.

    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!
