The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Western Michigan tackle Chukwuma Okorafor in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the 92nd pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Okorafor measured in at this years combine at 6060, 320-pounds and he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.31-seconds.

Chukwuma Okorafor (pronounced chuck-WOO-muh oh-KOR-uh-for) and his family immigrated from Botswana to the United States in 2010, so he got a late start on learning football. Despite eventually getting recruited by football’s biggest powers, he stayed in Michigan to play for Head Coach P.J. Fleck at WMU.
