It’s not easy to make it in the NFL when you’re not born and raised in the nation in which the league operates. Especially if you never even reach the level of high school football in the states. Chukwuma Okorafor arrived in the US very late, but he was already playing college ball in high school.
Chase Claypool played his high school football in Canada, where he was born and raised, before posting a highlight tape on his Facebook page and he got a little help passing it around. That’s when some US colleges finally started taking notice of him, and he eventually landed at Notre Dame.
