COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Uchenna Nwosu grew up a stone's throw from the Los Angeles Chargers' temporary home, the StubHub Center.
Selected in the second round of this year's draft by the Bolts, Nwosu still lives close enough to his family home to return for his favorite home-cooked meal -- jollof rice and chicken.
"It's only once and a while," the linebacker said with a laugh. "I can't keep eating that. I'll put on too much weight if I do that."
Born in the United States, Nwosu is of Nigerian decent. His proper name is Anon Uchenna Nwosu Jr.
