Osi Umenyiora is an All-Fundamentals Team Defensive End for his ability to fire off the ball and rush the passer. He explodes off the ball, takes the quickest path to the Quarterback and goes for the ball or the tackle.
Off the field, Umenyiora hosts an annual “Strike 4 a Cure” celebrity bowling weekend to raise funds to fight AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease. Umenyiora also recently partnered with the CATE (Changing Africa Through Education) Foundation that aims to lift children out of poverty by providing them with the same opportunities they would have in the United States.
