Stansly Maponga makes history as first EVER Zimbabwean to get drafted into the NFL!

The Atlanta Falcons selected Texas Christian's Stansly Maponga in 2013 NFL Draft and doing so they made history. The 22 year old is the first EVER Zimbabwean to be drafted into the NFL! So freakin awesome!

Stansly was born in Zimbabwe and moved the the U.S. at age 9. He chose to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter this year's draft and clearly his big gamble paid off! The 6'2, 256 pounds star must be rolling in dough now, spend it wisely young man :)

Congrats to him and his family!!!
