New York Giants' Bobby Okereke 'excited' to see what new NFL season holds

New York Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke found time in his offseason to participate in the NFL Africa camp in Lagos, Nigeria - a city which he has deep ties to - and was called a 'top three player' by Giants legend Osi Umenyiora.

Umenyiora - a two-time Super Bowl champion at defensive end for the Giants - praised Okereke for his work both on and off the football field.

"He's just a fantastic player - probably a top three player in his position - and I think he's just now getting the recognition that he rightly deserves," Umenyiora told ESPN.
