Emmanuel Ogbah Solid in NFL Debut

Former Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah played in his first NFL game last night in the Cleveland Browns’ 17-11 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Ogbah had a solid performance, racking up six tackles, including two tackles for loss and a sack.

Plenty of people on Twitter only had good things to say about the second-round pick:

Browns second-round pass-rusher Emmanuel Ogbah has been a bright spot tonight.

Congrats to @EmanOgbah for his NFL preseason debut with 6 solo tackles and a trademark sack. #eman@lambeaufield

Ogbah’s lone sack would prove to be his biggest highlight of the night. His motor was on display with this hit on the quarterback outside the pocket:

You'll have to view this at least 3 times to drink how surreal this pursuit was by Emmanuel Ogbah. Wow. pic.twitter.com/kz2gBvt3Jo

Ogbah recently made the change from a 3-4 outside linebacker back to a defensive end. With defensive lineman Desmond Bryant’s injury and Armonty Bryant’s four-game suspension, Ogbah will likely see more playing time than expected in his new-but-not-really-new position.

The Browns will play in their preseason home opener Thursday, Aug. 18 against the Atlanta Falcons.
