- This is the story of how David Ojabo's NFL dream became a reality. The 21-year-old linebacker, who was raised in Aberdeen after moving from Nigeria aged seven, had been projected as a first-round pick before tearing an Achilles tendon in March. We were with him when he finally got the call from the @Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft...

As a Ravens fan, regardless of his injury, once he comes back, he and Oweh will be great together.
Oweh, but I know what you meant
When is he expected to be able to play in games again?
@@bolsbolbol368 about October maybe
Yes David!! So happy heâs joined the flock
Facts!!!
Born in Nigeria bred in scotland & made in America, what an athlete he is. Well done my man fae scotland.
He's not from Scotland.
Man Iâm crying and Iâm a Jets fan . I should be worried . Happy for Dave
@@williamredpath861 look at the title and he said that he came to America at 15 from scotland
@@venmo4milk887 wrong, the title says he's from Scotland when he's not. He was born and raised up to the age of 7 to Nigerian parents in Nigeria. There's nothing Scottish about him.
đđđ
The fact that he probably told his mom that Baltimore is his top choice and where he hopes to land, and when she realize itâs them that called him.. yeeeaaahh buddy!
Welcome to the Flock!
I'm a Ravens fan born in Aberdeen, so this draft pick was extra special for me. Can't wait to see him do us proud and absolutely dominate this league. Not long now brother.
Where is Aberdeen? Scotland?
@@Mustang1984 yes, literally where Ojabo is from, which was said in the videoâŠ
Ravens are such a well run organization. Couldnât have ended much better for him!
Wait, how? Do you mean like his injury?
*Could NOT have...
GO BLUE!
Nice
If he went to the lions a pick or two later would have been amazing. Same team as his teammate and same state
Crazy considering both their journeys, but Oweh & Ojabo even being on the same NFL team together is wildly improbable! What an awesome story. Glad it ended up working out really well for him. Great fit.
Everyone here in Aberdeen rooting for you David! Go Scotland!
The dudes a stud mate, in a year or 2 he will be beast.
Hopefully get us some more Ravens fans in Scotland!
He'll also be cheered and loved in Aberdeen, Md. which is about 51 KM northeast of Baltimore.
@@shocktrauma85 repping here from aberdeen MD we cheering for him!
I love this kid already. So humble and appreciative. Canât wait to see him in action.
It's always the humble guys that explode on the field. Super hype
What an amazing young man. The fact he didnât let his grades fall shows how dedicated this man is. Heâll be amazing in the NFL. Coming from humble beginnings and making the American dream real! Congrats young man!
14:25 brought tears to my eyes, that's 6-7 years of hard work every day. And that's just pure joy right there...can't wait to see u in Baltimore!!!!
So happy he went to the Ravens, jersey is already ordered.. #GoBlue
Thats lov!
I kind of wished they'd let him wear 00. But it's impossible to watch this without shedding a tear with him.
GO BLUE!
Bandwagon !!!! Now everyone is a raven fan
@@r.r4981 you know what happens when you assume right?
The moment he started crying when his name was announced was soo raw. you could really feel his journey in his tears. i wish him the best in the nfl :)

Hi from Brazil! Really beautiful history. As a Ravens fan, I'm so proud of this choice and very confident about this year's team.

Ey man brazilian ravensâđŒ saludos de MĂ©xico đ
Man my eyes got watery watching. What a story đđŒ
Beautiful story
Happy for you and your family, go make us Celts proud!
Hes nigerian?
@@jimmybaldbird3853 He's been adopted by the Scottish, and Americans
@@mahatmasloth6543 he's not Scottish. He was born and bred for the first 7 years of his life in Nigeria. Both parents Nigerian. He lived in Scotland for another 8 years and has lived in America the following 7 years. He is a Nigerian with an Americal accent. There's nothing celtic about him. He might be liked in Scotland but that doesn't make him adopted either.
The HARBAUGHS MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE AS A FAMILY
Baltimore welcomes you!! Can't wait to be at the stadium to see you play. Wishing you a speedy n full recovery. đđ
Great Story. I'm a Giants fan and a David Ojabo fan. Wish you the best
Thanks. Hopefully Kayvon Thibodeaux (had to google his name lol) will succeed for you guys.
Ojabo and Oweh are going to be absolute monsters for the Ravens! "The Nigerian Lions!"
The best thing about it is this where him and his family wanted him to come and he gets to play with Oweh again what a story
