What is Amobi Okoye issue?

[xwalker]

Aside from medical, he's just not a good player. Hasn't been since entering the league.

How did he end up starting 59 NFL games before age 26?

Strange case.

Like basic facts matter here. But for those 2-3 people who do like facts, his former DC wants him here. Not that Marinelli knows anything.

I wish the young man health and it will be great if he can contribute here when and if he is healthy.

He signed a multi million dollar contract at the age of 19 and retired a day later, IMO. He won't be able to overcome that.

What?

You could very well be right.
The pokes on my fingers heal fast enough. Other, more serious cuts and dings take quite a bit longer than say- my wife if she had the same affliction.
I've asked my GP and my Endocrinologist about it and they've told me that's not uncommon as it became a significant concern of mine that this may not be normal on top of the T1DM.

Anyway- I hope you're doing well. I didn't want to come off as if it has destroyed my life. Far from it. I maintain an active lifestyle and keep my weight down.
I do feel like it would be pretty hard to be a professional football with the disease, but I bet it could be done.

Thanxs. Yes, playing sports is different altogether. Once blood suger drops, it's chaos for the mind. Peace.

Okoye's problems are to do with the brain. They called it a rare medical condition that has to do with the brain. But they did say, that we will know pretty quickly if he;s going to be around.

So then it isn't diabetes, as you surmised, but something else.

My guess is also some kind of psychological issue, ruling out the other things, then.

Maybe. There are a boatload of neurological conditions though, so I'm going to guess it's probably something I have no idea even exists. Thanks Google.

I'm sorry, Amobi who?

i think the main thing people need to understand is it cost viruallyu nothing to see if he can still play. if he can help the team then thats great, if not we cut him and move on. nothing lost guys

Addiction?

Aside from being the youngest player ever drafted at 19 years old?

He was the #10 overall pick. That basically means he'll start and be given every opportunity to prove he isn't a bust.

Starting isn't indicative of performance. Sometimes there is no one else like in the case of Nick Hayden.

Sometimes players are given every chance possible because the investment is too big like in the case of almost any Top 10 pick.

So did we ever find out the specifics of what is wrong with the Animagus?

Bryan said "an extensive problem to do with his head" and did the loopy thing with his finger.

Has to be something psychological. He also brought up concussions.
