A great Trojan and a great calling in life. He’s doing a great job expanding the brand.

I came here for the same thing. I was honestly badmouthing the commercial to my wife because it strikes me as such wishful thinking by the NFL that a kid that age in Ghana would be into American football over soccer but then Osi came on and I told her I thought it was a good commercial now and then explained that was an genuine Troy (State) Trojan.

It is sad fact that many newer Normal School fans and students and maybe administrators don't even know who Osi Umenyiora is. 2. How many kids from Nigeria have played at Normal School? I'd say, quite a few including most recently Richard Jubinor. 3. Osi has been an incredible Ambassador for the game of football - not just the NFL; he does clinics every year throughout Africa; FWIW: he also visited Iraq when it was still a hot zone to visit the troops. 4. He is a fan favorite on NFL TV in Europe. Quite frankly, I wish he was over here doing TV. 5. I believe he either holds or is tied for most QB sacks in a game (5 or 6 against Philly on a Sunday Night game); in 2005 he had 14.5 sacks 6. He has two Super Bowl Rings 7. I do believe he holds the unofficial NFL record for strip sacks - 35 forced fumbles(4 returned for a TD) 8. He is NFL Hall of Fame worthy. 9. Oh and he is married to the former Miss Universe, Leila Lopes (he is winning off the field too). 10. It was a great commercial that we should blast out all over Tweeter and Instaface
