The Ravens content has taken a big leap this year. Stuff like this and Marlon's podcast really help fans understand and get behind the players.

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

I'm an Eagles fan, but man... the Ravens media team is goated. I'd love to see a feature like this on my guy Ojabo!

He gone make everybody put some RESPECT on his name!!!! Odafe isn't even hard to pronounce. He'll be a household name you can bet on that!!!!

I am piss poor at pronouncing names, but I got this on the first try. Why was everyone having problems?

He’s a raven to his heart. He has a high motor/work ethic. Love watching him play. This was a great piece on him/his identity name .

[@devinmturk]

Excellent storytelling. Easy guy to root for. Ravens productions does it again!

[@scibeats]

He seems like a genuinely good dude. I'm praying for his SUCCESS with the Ravens!! Let's Go!!!

He’s going to Beast, this season, mark my words! I 🙏🏾 him, and the whole team, stays healthy!

That's a good man with a good head on his shoulders. His family definitely raised him the right way. He absolutely has awesome parents and grandparents.

[@michaeljacobs7889]

Just another reason the Ravens are going to win the superbowl!

[@TheClapton2]

This guy has all the potential to be the next great raven, and i sure hope he becomes that.

[@ricardobustillos52]

i love when he said people will make fun of you because you're different. it really hit home with me because i know exactly what he means. I loved hearing him talk about it. I've also had a difficult name to say and used an easier version of it so people stop messing it up. I've taken pride in my real name and embrace it. I'll make sure people know how to say it if they get it wrong. loved watching this.

[@devanschultz3725]

Be proud of who you are and where you came from, I love it! Let’s go flock 💜

[@cptjshaffer]

Odafe was looking at that potato dish like it was all his! I asked myself, “Is he seriously going to eat that by himself? What kind of carb intake is that and is that good or bad for a professional athlete?” I remember Michael Phelps intake of food at the Olympics, so I was like, “He knows better than me, you do you!” However, he finally placed it in the center of the table and I was like, “I’m a dumbass, should have known he wasn’t going to eat that all by himself.” Later, while he’s eating, he starts explaining how you need to, “get some protein,” with it. I’ll bet you if he opened up a Nigerian Restaurant where utensils weren’t provided, it would make bank. I’m glad to see him so comfortable now and definitely glad that he’s on our team!

[@sdpoe]

What a great feature! Odafe like café no? 😆👏🏽 so ready for the szn! LEHGO RAVENS! 💜🖤

[@candidcandi315]

Wow! I already loved him. This video makes me love him more, on and off the field. I’ll definitely buy his jersey now! My team always giving us 🔥 content we didn’t know we needed.

[@musiconly7447]

This is a great short doc. Nice job to everyone involved! Hope Odafe starts to rack up those sacks this year.

Odafe Oweh = the artist, the lion and a RAVEN. I knew the first time I saw him. I said, that guy is a RAVEN. So glad you're here Adofe. Let's go Ravens!

Odafe Oweh I am so proud of you and where you are now! I’m rooting for you like you don’t even know! I just came home from work and heard about this video and I was looking right at one of my childhood friends on my screen. I can think of the days we wrestled in your pool for fun and played basketball together as well. The days you would kick that kickball for home run in the Taunton Gym. I would ask Jordan Jones how you been but we just stopped talking. It’s Paul Fournier and I’m proud you! Ravens media if you see this please tell Odafe I said Hi and I know he will do great things. Go Ravens!

Videos like this brings you closer to the players as a fan. You get informations you cant find on the field. I love these type of videos. Also the Studio 44 with Marlo

[@tthomaselli2]

Here's an easy memory trick for those who still can't pronounce his last-name & his first-name, respectively: "O-Dah-Fay" for the first-name & "O-Way" for the last- I came up with it, myself because I couldn't pronounce his last-name & first-name, at first & after trying to sound it out, that's what I got out of it.

[@danielvaladez3210]

I saw Odafe getting drafted, saw Good Morning Football butcher this man's name time and time again....Odafe Oweh is coming for y'all and he's got PQ, Kyle, Lamar, Bateman, and others coming for the league. We fiina beat you up.

This documentary is money! It makes me more excited about watching him on the field. Also, that food looked so good. I’ve had a hard time finding good Nigerian restaurant. I found one where their fufu was good, but the other stuff was bleh… their goat dish tasted like goat smothered in ketchup soup and their ogbono had nothing in it and it had this consistency of spit/lugy… it was no good!
