Raised in Houston but born in Shreveport and his brother knows him apparently. 2 minutes ago, LeGOATski said: Tonight, on Unsolved Mysteries...

He was shown it at the draft and there was no guarantee we'd get him plenty of people thought he'd be gone before we got a chance. 1

Oh, I did not see that...but I agree, to me you're a native of where you were born. Pretty trivial question to ask, I suppose...but it definitely had me confused. Thanks for the article!

EDIT: Also, how big is he? I've seen everywhere from 6-1, 275 up to 6-3, 290. Twitter reaction: Tre'Davious White was excited to have another Shreveport, Louisiana product on the team. According to a story from a local paper, Oliver was born in Shreveport before the family moved to the Houston area when he was young, but he also spent time in Marksville, Louisiana. Oliver had the inside of his suit jacket emblazoned with an image from Houston, which he called "the greatest place on Earth." Blitz newsletter: Ed Oliver was 'praying' he'd get drafted by Bills 1

So they had the four of them come in to shoot that video in time to show it to him shortly after drafting him. All I'm saying is it isn't that mystifying for him to be blown away by it.
