The New York Jets released Lawrence Okoye

A former San Francisco 49ers fan favorite is looking for a new team

This doesn't have much to do with the 49ers at all anymore, but since there were a lot of you guys pulling for him during his time here, I think it's appropriate to post that Lawrence Okoye has been released from New York Jets.

If you remember, Okoye was a discus competitor with a bright future in junior rugby union. Well, after breaking the British discus record, and competing in the Olympics, Okoye came to America and signed up with the San Francisco 49ers with no football experience whatsoever.
