Las Vegas Raiders' David Agoha recalls 'surreal' experience of getting first-ever NFL sack

Las Vegas Raiders' David Agoha, who sent the sidelines into wild celebration with an eight-yard preseason sack on Los Angeles Rams' Brett Rypien, says he was born to be a defensive end.

Agoha, who has only played in two American football games, at any level, in his whole life, grew up playing all sorts of sports in Lagos, Nigeria, before being discovered by NewYork Giants legend Osi Umenyiora's Uprise camp.

He is on the Raiders' practice squad now, having been allocated to the team by the International Player Pathway programme, but he made an impression in preseason and says that while blocking remains his area of improvement, the rest of the game has come pretty easily to him.
