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?

My personal experience is that Africa blacks feel less entitled, are better educated and are more appreciative to be here than the African american blacks that are mostly the decsendants of slavery. Not making any judgements on either, but thats been my experience.
