Fokou came to the Terps as a walk-on, but made a name for himself quickly.  He led the team in special teams tackles the past two seasons, and he is expected to make an immediate impact on the Eagles as well.

All of us here at Terp Talk want to congratulate Moise Fokou and wish him the best of luck in his NFL career.
