Ekeji brings an uncommon background to the defensive end position. Standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 230 pounds, the former rugby player holds citizenship in three countries.
He was selected as one of 13 athletes from 12 nations for the NFL International Player Pathway Program class and participated in the inaugural NFL Africa Camp in 2022, where 49 players from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo competed.
