Obo is 6'2", 253 lbs.
"For comparison’s sake, Von Miller weighed in at 6-foot-3, 246 pounds at the combine in 2011 – nearly the same size as Okoronkwo. In fact, he has shorter arms than the Rams’ new rookie, albeit by a quarter of an inch.
That’s not to say Okoronkwo will become a Super Bowl MVP or three-time All-Pro – Miller’s athleticism numbers were off the charts – but he does have similar measurables and the same man coaching him up." [

"One of my favorite scheme/prospect fits in this draft was Obo Okoronkwo to the Rams. I think he's a great player for Wade Phillips' defense" [
