Virginia linebacker with NFL-tested special-teams toughness
Ekejiuba is best known as a high-motor, physical linebacker whose Virginia roots led to a long NFL career, where he played 64 games for the Raiders mostly on special teams and forced a pair of turnovers. That background makes him a fit if you value toughness, versatility, and relentless effort over pure box-score production. His differentiator is his willingness to do the dirty work and contribute in multiple phases, with a reputation built more on reliability and intensity than flash.
