When it comes to taking advantage of an opportunity, Chuks Okorafor is the perfect example of this.

During the 2018 NFL Draft, in the third round the Pittsburgh Steelers took an offensive tackle named Chukwuma Okorafor out of Western Michigan.

If you are like me, you heard/saw the name you had the same response:

“Who?”

The more you read/watched of Okorafor as a player you saw immense talent, just very raw in nature. The best description I read of the man they call ‘Chuks’ stated how if he would have attended Alabama, and not Western Michigan, he would have been a first rounder.

Okorafor played sparingly in 2018, starting one game against the Denver Broncos and being the extra tight end on heavy run packages.
