The 24-year-old Okwara started taking photographs when he was a kid and has developed his passion over the years.While playing for the New York Giants in 2017, he visited a firehouse in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood because he thought it would be cool to hang out with firefighters.Okwara was inspired to return to capture behind-the-scenes images of the men and women he met, along with the building they call home when they're not fighting fires. Okwara made 15 to 20 visits over two years, most recently in July, and produced about 25 pictures that will be prominently displayed at his exhibit."I'm excited to show what these firefighters do, giving people the inside scoop on what it's like to run into burning building to save lives," Okwara said Wednesday. "I didn't go in buildings with them, but I was on site when they were on call."The Lions, who open the season Sunday at Arizona, added Okwara off waivers from the Giants nearly a year ago. It proved to be a shrewd move for the team, and it paid off for him, too.Okwara led the Lions with 7½ sacks last season after he had only one sack in 20 games over two years with the Giants. Detroit signed him to a two-year Bo Jackson Jersey , $6.8 million contract in March, rewarding a productive player who earned his way into the NFL as an undrafted free agent from Notre Dame.IN-DEMAND TICKETSSo which NFL team is most popular on the secondary ticket market?HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS?Dallas is StubHub's most in-demand NFL team for the fifth year in a row, up 64% from last year, based on ticket sales.

It was all part of the seventh NFL boot camp that USAA has hosted this season and the first in the Chicago/Milwaukee region."It's been nearly 20 years since I ran through drills at the NFL combine, so I'm glad I was only coaching our military today and not actually running the 40," Urlacher said.

It can get gloomy in the wintertime and we live for big events like this in-between getting up early every day and going all day."Navy Special Operator First Class Oscar Sanchez agreed."I think it helps get our minds off of work a little bit," Sanchez said.
