The 49ers have signed 11 undrafted free agents to come to camp and compete for a spot on the roster. While it’s generally a long shot, you never know what kind of hidden gem you can find (just look at Alex Boone). One player of note is defensive lineman Lawrence Okoye. Okoye is a British Olympic discus thrower who placed 12th in the London Olympics. Also a former rugby player, he impressed NFL scouts at regional combines with his combination of size (6’6 305lbs) and athletic ability. When asked about Okoye, head coach Jim Harbaugh opined about the player as only Jim Harbaugh can. According to the San Francisco Gate, he said of Okoye: “He’s just an Adonis. Just a great physical specimen of a man. I can think of some other adjectives. Our Creator created a beautiful man.” Jim is becoming quite the quote!
