London’s Efe Obada dazzles in NFL debut with Carolina Panthers
On Sunday, London’s Efe Obada, formerly of the London Warriors and Kingston Cougars, became the first player of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program to be active during the 2018/19 regular season, and the Nigerian-born defensive end did not disappoint as he produced play after play in his big-league debut!
Obada finished the day with a sack, an interception, and a forced fumble that was frustratingly voided by replay, and following the fixture was presented with a game ball by Panthers head coach Ron Rivera.
“I’m over the moon,” Obada told Panthers.com “Words can’t describe how I feel right now. I’m still filled with adrenaline.”
