From a British-centric point, Menelik Watson is your big bet for a Brit making it. Now, another one is interested - Olympian Lawrence Okoye is wanting to move to the NFL and seemingly leaving discus.

He's 6'6", 248lbs - so the statistics match up, potentially as a DE. Only 21.

Best of luck to him. I wonder who's interested? Sounds like a guy who'd want to stash on the practice squad for a year and see what happens.

According to the Daily Mail, he also has a scholarship waiting on him to go to Oxford University to study law. So he's got the brain for it. Some guys just have it all, eh?

Be a loss for our Olympic squad for Rio and beyond - but as an NFL fan, I'm very intrigued to see how he goes.
