The Buffalo Bills made history when they drafted Ed Wang in the fifth round. Wang is the Chinese American to be drafted into the NFL. Host Michel Martin speaks with Wang about football and his accomplishments.
Wang was born in the States, but his parents were born and raised in China. Both were Olympic athletes. His mother, Nancy, ran the hurdles and his father, George, was a high-jumper. At six-foot-five and weighing over 300 pounds, the Virginia Tech grad led his offensive line to be one of the strongest in the nation. (Source: npr.org, May 11, 2010).
