Ebenezer Ekuban was a recent guest on the Cut Traded Fired Retired podcast, where he gave insight on his “simple” childhood in Ghana, his journey to loving football, and his career coming to a graceful end after ten good years.
Ekuban was seven when his dad, Ebenezer Ekuban Sr., moved him and his six sisters from Ghana to the United States. He admitted to not growing up with NFL dreams; in fact, football was an acquired taste. He really only joined his high school team in Bladensburg, MD because Ebenezer Sr. urged him to “do more” than just go to school and come home every day.
