When Texans rookie outside linebacker Duke Ejiofor was in high school, his coaches gave him nicknames because of his reticent, determined personality.
At Alief Taylor, the former Chronicle top 100 players selection was known as "The Quiet Storm," and "The Silent Assassin."
Despite only playing one year of varsity football, Ejiofor earned a scholarship to Wake Forest.
