During his first two years in the NFL, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Foyesade Oluokun spent his bye week a little differently than most NFL players.
He headed back to New Haven, Connecticut, to visit his alma mater and get in some extra work with his old position coach. He could be taking a trip to the Bahamas or Las Vegas to enjoy the midseason break, but instead he’s doing drills after Yale’s practice.
And that, per Bulldogs head coach Tony Reno, is one of the reasons why Oluokun -- already one of the best young linebackers in the NFL -- is going to be a star.
