Kelechi Osemele takes on Class IV rapids, world’s highest swing

Kelechi Osemele is making this NFL offseason an adventurous one — to the consternation of Raiders coach Jack Del Rio.

Osemele, an All-Pro left guard, posted two exhilarating experiences this week from his trip to New Zealand.

First, Osemele he put video on Twitter of him tackling a Class IV rapid. Del Rio saw the video and responded on Twitter, expressing concern for Osemele and traveling teammates Brynden Trawick and Taiwan Jones.
