Baltimore Ravens 2021 NFL Draft: Twitter reacts to round one haul
(Odafe) Jayson Oweh:
Check out our grade for the selection of Jayson Oweh.
First things first: Learn the name “Odafe,” pronounced “O-dah-FAY,” because there’s a good chance that Oweh goes by his first name in the pros (Jayson is his middle name).
Oweh said he went by Jayson for a long time because Odafe was harder to pronounce (he's of Nigerian dissent). He said he doesn't care anymore and people are going to have to get used to it. He's going by Odafe (O-dah-FAY) now.

It doesn’t matter what he decides to go by… either name sounds like a badass dude coming to hurt your quarterback.
Jayson Oweh, a 257-pound pass rusher, ran the 40-yard dash faster than 190-pound wide receiver Rashod Bateman -- and Bateman ran it in 4.41 seconds.

Now, this is just insane. Oweh is an absolute freak of nature. He is truly a unique specimen.
The @Ravens got an absolute stud in Jayson Oweh. Don’t be fooled by the no sacks story line. He is just an awesome disruptive football player. One of my favorite defensive guys in the draft. Ravens continue to purge the biggest baddest dudes on the planet.

High praise here from Simms. Oweh had next to no production in college but he is an absolute terror off the edge. He’s a big mold of clay who could become something truly special. There’s a reason many have compared Oweh to Danielle Hunter in more than one way.

Oweh is certainly cut and at the top of his peers in terms of physique. He looks like Tarzan, now we hope he plays like him and not Jane.

Anyone who watched Yannick Ngakoue play for the Ravens knows he may not have gotten many sacks, but he was always in the quarterback’s face. We should expect a lot of the same for Oweh.
Next. Things in the way of a Baltimore Ravens trade for Julio Jones. dark
It was a really good night to be a Baltimore Ravens fan and the Flock has to be excited about the upside of these two. Both Bateman and Oweh could be major contributors early in their careers for Baltimore and no one should be surprised to see them flourish on a great Ravens team.
