Not to mention, but it could end up being a mistake we'd regret (might even bite us in the ass) if a rival team somehow picks him up....
Not gonna happen. Okoye will be a Niner. At this point, and as I have said previously, it is still early but Okoye seems to have amazing progress. He is man handling fools off almost 100% mental reps. I find it amazing honestly and I am rooting hard for this guy. I think Okoye is gonna be a player, and something that most the nfl doesn't have on their roster but the Niners will.

Your post brings perspective. We've made the investment in this athlete we may as well see this project through and not let someone else benefit

Finding a spot on special teams will really help his chances. Can't wait to watch him this preseason. I think he'll get a lot more reps this year.

I really hope so because I am excited as well. From the moment I learned of this guy I have been rooting for him. The one aspect of the game I was worried about was the contact, but he has stated in a recent article the contact is one of his favorite parts of the game. He loves to prove himself physically against another athlete. It's a power trip for him that he gets off on, which bodes well for his continued progression.

imagine putting Okoye in on goal line situations and having him manhandle the whole pile lol

They are not going to be able to hide him, so it is the IR or he is on the roster.
I ain't gonna argue, man, I'm out numbered
But really doe. I hope we keep this cat and use him on a couple positions. He seems like a quick learner and 100% focused on just football. I get the feeling that coaches are encouraging him to get things down faster (he's only got till around end of preseason to determine where he stands, IMO).....
