Has Ozigbo had any snaps in the NFL? He keeps finding a place on practice squads.

Nebraska football released its first batch of single-digit jersey number recipients on Wednesday evening, with four players getting their choice of numbers.
Senior wide receiver Billy Kemp IV picked the No. 1, safety Isaac Gifford is wearing No. 2, Luke Reimer is wearing No. 4 and quarterback Jeff Sims is wearing No. 7.
The recipients of the single-digit numbers were voted on by their teammates this week. In the spring, head coach Matt Rhule, who initially saw the tradition start at Temple, said recipients will represent everything coaches and teammates look for in a Husker player.
"Really the guys who best exemplify what it means to be a Cornhusker. To be accountable, to be dependable, to be tough, hard-working, competitive every single day. So as we get into training camp, we'll vote on it,” Rhule said in the spring.
The tradition started at Temple where Rhule was an assistant coach. Rhule was the offensive coordinator and Al Golden was the head coach when this began back at Temple. This was back when players seemed to really start being more upfront about wanting the single-digit jerseys. Even linemen, who for decades had been stuck to those bigger numbers for bigger frames, were wanting them and getting them.
Rhule said in the spring he hoped the new tradition would serve as motivation for players in the program.
"I think the cool thing now is, recruits say it to me, guys say it to me, 'Can I wear No. 3? Absolutely. Just have to earn it," Rhule said. "There's no delineation. The first guy that we vote in, he picks whatever he wants, the second guy we vote in, he picks whatever he wants. And over time, at least at Temple, hey, the No. 6s were all this kind of position, the No. 3s were all DBs, you know. I've had freshmen earn it. I've had seniors earn it.
“I've had times where we didn't get to all nine, unfortunately, early on," Rhule said with a laugh. "We'll have nine or 10 guys here. There's plenty of guys here who deserve those numbers."
Rhule said this week that they will likely have multiple rounds of voting throughout fall camp to determine who will wear the new numbers.

Nebraska was built on the shoulders of tough midgets. Usually like three or four of em so the could reach high enough, but damnit show some respect!
