To be honest, I think being a really good white defensive players gets more attention then being Nigerian. The fact that he plays for the Jags and didn't have any elite sack numbers to set him apart doesn't help either. That said, based on his performance and total tackles (incluiding his high solo tackle number), he should have definitely gotten selected .....

Just to clarify, Foye was born in St. Louis, so he's American by birth. I know that there is some friction in the black communities between so called "Africa blacks" and "African-Americans", do you think that could have some impact on his relative anonymity?

Definitely not. He played in Atlanta and now Jacksonville, which are 2 very low profile teams and neither has a really good defense or impact players on D that get national recognition. Regarding the race factor, I think he'd actually benefit more if he were white like Poz.
