'Play Vicious': Peanut Onwuasor's guide to playing NFL linebacker
Ravens linebacker Patrick Onwuasor, originally undrafted and now in his third NFL season, is a rising star at the position for the Baltimore Ravens.
Onwuasor, a recent NFL Africa Zone player of the week, explains his mentality as an undrafted player, his nickname that stuck, as well as what he thinks about when he steps on the field.
KweséESPN: Let's start easy. How did you get the nickname "Peanut"?
Onwuasor: When I was little my basketball coach called me Peanut. He said, "I'm talking to you with that small head!" and that just became my name. Everyone started calling me Peanut. Some people don't even know my real name. I got a tattoo of it. [Onwuasor shows off a Mr. Peanut tattoo]
