ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- Bobby Okereke worked his way up the stairs to the second floor of the Boys & Girls Club of Monmouth County this spring.
Some of the children didn't seem to know him, just that he was some kind of "VIP" who towered over the busy school-age kids.
One boy stopped Okereke as he made his way into a multimedia room that had a recording studio and asked his name. Okereke, the starting middle linebacker for the New York Giants, told him.
"This you?" the boy asked just seconds later.
