Chargers signed a sprinter from Nigeria to play wide receiver
Today, the Los Angeles Chargers signed an interesting player. The Chargers signed Nigerian sprinter Praise Olatoke to pay wide receiver.
Olatoke is part of the NFL’s International Pathway Program, which allows an international player a chance to make a roster. The 6’2 speedster ran the 100 meter in 10.27 and is stupid fast. He has only played football at the club level, but is an All-Big Ten sprinter.
Olatoke was on the Ohio State track team and is a blazer. The Chargers are going to give him a shot to make the roster, and they will be given a roster exemption for his spot.
This is a smart move, I like it Harbaugh, I like it!
