So let's review:
We've established that he is not a QB.
Recall that I stated before that a question may be formed out of something unique about that player.
In this case, as in most cases, the player is not very well known.

He is the British record holder in the discus event. Okoye became the first ever British athlete to win a medal in Discus at a European Championships during Munich 2022. He was a discus finalist in the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games.
GREAT job KeepRabbitsOut.

I was thinking like you, but there'd be 1-2 more players that qualify I believe.
*Nevermind, lol*

Well I thought of Russ Francis and Javelin. I then looked up other 49ers with ties to track and field, like Michael Carter (shot put) and Okoye (discus). I didn't think the clockwise spin fit any of them though so didn't offer a guess.

Thanks Isos, Isoc, Oh I give up..
I was hoping "English" (The legendary Mod in here) might pick up on it.
Lots of fun with these puzzles. Thank you.
(I did have an advantage with the international/Rugby background though.)

I didn't know Russ Francis threw javelin. Nor Michael Carter and the shot put.
And I had to go research discus throwing, to make sure that it spun clock-wise for the right-hander.

It is so much fun for me. So glad you all are enjoying it.
And hey, if RiceOwensStokes is out there watching/reading, I want you to know that it was YOUR screen name that inspired and obviously helped create this particular question!

Yea I thought that it would be a counterclockwise spin. Seems counterintuitive, lol. Plus I was also thinking about the body movement prior to the 'heave'.
Good question again.

You are the champion of these puzzles and I think Iso "threw" you off the scent by putting "smoke" in the clue!
