Our high school was a military style boarding school where all you had to do was follow orders and life was easy. Otah was lazy, he missed class all of the time, his shoes were never shined and his uniform was always dirty, he was insubordinate and he never put out during strength training/conditioning. He was literally just a massive guy who could push people around on the field and that only works up to a certain level.

Hope he saved some of that signing bonus.

He seemed to be happy just being able to go to the club or just be able to tell ordinary people, “I play in the NFL.”

The most appropriate next step for him is to go into broadcasting and be paired with Ron Pitts. He can gorge himself on the press box buffet and follow up Pitts and his mindles “I played in the NFL” play-by-play with similar color commentary:

Pitts: “And the pass is complete for a first down, tackle by the safety. Hey, I played in the NFL, and I was a safety.”

Otah: “Excellent protection by the line, Ron. You know, I played in the NFL too – I was a lineman.”

If you’ve seen him recently, it’s apparent that he’s doing just that.

Oh, by the way Jets fans, welcome to the Sporano offensive line magic show. It’s a curse, happy you have him now?

Thank God they traded the Panthers that pick . It’s a shame when player’s that talented can’t get healthy . This guy’s lucky that he was drafted before that new CBA . He should be able to eat off of that signing bonus for the rest of his life

That seems to have worked out well for them.

Otah could have been Hall of Fame if it weren’t for those unfortunate knee injuries. He was something to watch when he was healthy enough to play.

I wish him success in life after football.

They will not be able to run that way at all. Write it down.

Rumor has it that he ate all the donuts BEFORE Ryan arrived for their normal team morning breakfast.

The human knee just wasn’t designed to play football.
