Pole to play in NFL Minnesota Vikings

The NFL club Minnesota Vikings have signed Babatunde Aiyegbusi, a Polish-born offensive player, who goes by the nickname "Babs". Aiyegbusi most recently spent time in the Polish American Football League and the German Football League. "Babs", who weights 160 kilograms and measures 206 centimeters, caught the eye of Minnesota's scouts during a pro day workout Monday at the University of Texas-San Antonio. He was invited on Wednesday for tests to Minnesota and was signed the next day. "It's just surprising to me. I'm just so grateful of the opportunity the Vikings gave me. I'm aware that this is the real deal, that I have to prove myself," said Aiyegbusi "I'm ready to do it. I was dreaming [of this moment], and actually practicing back in Poland going every day to the gym, I was thinking 'If I would have been born in the States, I would have an easier opportunity to get there.' But I'm not. They told me [the NFL] would never happen, but it did. I'm very happy," he added. Aiyegbusi grew up in Wrocław, his mother is Polish and the father is Nigerian.
