 HOUSTON (AP) - Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, the youngest player taken in the first round since the AFL-NFL merger in 1967, signed a $17.6 million deal with the Houston Texans and was on the field Friday for the first day of training camp.
Okoye, who was 19 on draft day and turned 20 last month, agreed to a six-year deal that can be voided after five years under certain conditions.
"It was good," said Okoye, the 10th pick in the draft. "I want to be out here with my teammates. I want to be out here the very first day and start this thing off right."
