In 2002, he set school records in tackles for loss in a single season (20.5) and sacks in a single game (four against Florida A&M).

He finished the 2002 season with 15 sacks, the second-most in NCAA Division I.

He played college football for the Troy Trojans and was selected by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft.

Umenyiora was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and holds the Giants franchise record for most sacks in one game.

He is one of five British-born players to have won a Super Bowl, joining Marvin Allen, Scott McCready, former Troy and Giants teammate Lawrence Tynes, and Jay Ajayi.

He also played for the Atlanta Falcons.

Umenyiora was born in Golders Green, London to Nigerian parents.

He is of Igbo descent, a native of Ogbunike town in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra state in Nigeria.

Umenyiora's family moved from London to Nigeria when he was seven years old.

At fourteen years old, Umenyiora moved to Auburn, Alabama to live with his sister.

Umenyiora played only two years of high school football at Auburn High School where he was sixteen years old as a senior.

Umenyiora was high school friends and teammates with fellow future NFL defensive lineman DeMarcus Ware, who was two years behind him and would follow Umenyiora to Troy.

He finished his high school football career with no scholarship offers.

After the season, while Umenyiora was serving an in-school suspension, his team’s running back coach called his former college teammate Tracy Rocker, then the defensive line coach at Troy State, to tell him about Umenyiora.

Rocker happened to be in town, stopped by the school, and offered Umenyiora a scholarship the same day.

Umenyiora played college football for the Troy State Trojans, the only program to offer him an athletic scholarship.

At Troy, Umenyiora was moved from nose guard to defensive end.

Despite not being invited to the 2003 NFL draft combine, Umenyiora was selected in the second round (56th pick overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft by the New York Giants out of Troy University.

2005

Umenyiora established himself as a premier pass rusher in 2005, his first year as a starter.

His stellar play earned All-Pro recognition and a trip to the Pro Bowl.

Umenyiora achieved 14.5 sacks and 70 tackles, second only to the sixteen sacks obtained by Derrick Burgess of the Oakland Raiders.

By the end of the season, Umenyiora's 13 sacks helped the Giants to an NFL regular season-leading 53 sacks.

The Giants had a surprise victory in Super Bowl XLII over the New England Patriots, in part because of their strong pass rush performance.
