Samson Ebukam: "I'm going to do my best to keep the seat warm" for Clay Matthews

My point is that it's not athleticism he lacks. Seems to be more instincts than anything

Always pulling for the local kids - Ebukam played HS ball in Portland. I live in the area (albeit, Washington). Go get 'em!!

Hey I didn’t know that! Cool. I hope he plays well.

I see that Natrez Patrick did not practice yesterday due to a hammy issue, neither did Gurley who has thigh bruise.

Yeah - his family emigrated from Nigeria (I think) and his dad came over first, iwtha couple of kids... then finally Ebukam... and he played soccer at David Douglas (if I recall) in high school - apparently until the football coach noticed the talent he had... convinced him to play football for rest of HS... went to Eastern WA... rest is history...
