Larry Ogunjobi
Pro Football Player - Defensive Tackle
Can you share the something interesting that occurred to you in the course of your sports career?
The most interesting thing would be that the first NFL game that I ever played was the first professional football game I ever attended. I had never been to a professional football game in my life. I had no idea what to expect. I had seen a game on TV of course, but I had never physically been to a game. So, I thought that was pretty cool.
