There are 1,696 active players in the NFL. Just 138 are African. But if it were up to Osi Umenyiora, 11-year veteran and 2-time Super Bowl Champion, there would be many more. Osi is the Founder of The Uprise, the NFL's lead in Africa, and he's pioneering American football on the African continent. At the NFL's camp in Lagos, Nigeria, young athletes are vying for a shot to join the NFL Academy in London or to go straight to the League through the International Player Pathway Program. But many of them have never played American football before. So why is the NFL hosting camps in Africa?

In the final minutes of Super Bowl 42, the trailing New York Giants pulled off a move later described as “an insult to physics and Albert Einstein”. Quarterback Eli Manning sent the ball hurtling forward towards wide receiver David Tyree. As he leapt to make the catch, Tyree was under such intense pressure from the New England Patriots' Rodney Harrison, that it was nearly impossible to get both hands on the ball. Instead, he used one hand to grab it, then pressed it tightly against his helmet as he fell, twisting his body as he did so the ball didn't touch the ground as he landed.The ‘helmet catch' changed the game and two minutes later, the underdog Giants had won.Osi Umenyiora was part of the winning team.

Send us a textIn this jam-packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates,* Drew and Rob dive deep into the latest developments surrounding the New York Giants, including a potential game-changing quarterback acquisition, major injury updates, and an in-depth preview of Week 17 NFL matchups. This episode brings Giants fans up to speed on all the critical storylines as the season barrels toward its conclusion. The episode kicks off with a buzzworthy prediction from ESPN Draft Insider Matt Miller, who boldly claims the Giants will select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ward has put together a jaw-dropping season at Miami, completing 67.4% of his passes for 4,123 yards, 36 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. Additionally, his ability to make plays with his legs—adding 146 rushing yards and four touchdowns—makes him a dynamic option for the Giants' future. Adding to the discussion, former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky weighs in with his thoughts on how the Giants can fix their woes. Orlovsky stresses the importance of rebuilding the offensive and defensive lines, citing the team's past success underpinned by strong line play. He recalls the days of players like Rodney Hampton, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Brandon Jacobs, arguing that the Giants have lost their identity as a line-of-scrimmage-dominant team. The conversation shifts to the present with updates on the Giants' quarterback situation for Week 17. Drew Lock is set to start against the Colts, despite a rough season in which he has completed just 52.7% of his passes for 624 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions in six games (three starts). The Giants are 0-3 in Lock's starts, and the hosts discuss whether he can show any improvement or if the Colts game might serve as a final evaluation for his future with the team. Injury news continues to plague the Giants. Promising rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is battling a toe injury, making him a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup. Nabers has been a revelation this season, amassing 969 receiving yards and closing in on a historic rookie campaign. He needs just 31 yards to become the Giants' first 1,000-yard receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. in 2018 and three catches to hit 100 receptions, a milestone no Giants rookie has ever achieved. The injury bug doesn't stop there. Safety Raheem Layne's season ends prematurely after he tore his meniscus against the Falcons, just one day after being promoted to the active roster. . Meanwhile, linebacker Dyontae Johnson is activated off injured reserve after missing most of the season due to an ankle injury sustained in the preseason. Drew and Rob discuss how Johnson's return could bolster a depleted defense, noting his journey from undrafted rookie free agent to contributor.

"I played football to get a free education, I never thought I was gonna do what I did on the football field. But I knew that I was gonna ride that thing until the wheels fall off. " Justin Tuck In this episode of The Pivot Podcast in partnership with Fanatics, Ryan, Fred, and Channing host a wide-ranging conversation with former NFL Star Justin Tuck, as the two-time Super Bowl champion, Notre Dame Alumni and now, a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs opens up on making the ultimate pivot from professional football to financial guru, turning passion into purpose. Justin, a man of many talents and layers, shares how he took his life from football to finance to fatherhood on a unique journey from a small town to the bright lights of New York City forging a path filled with championships, accolades and few regrets. Capitalizing on NFL fame to chase the high-stakes world of finance, Justin shares how he spent years building relationships and learning from the best in business, preparing for life after football even while he was still in the game. For him, the transition wasn't easy, but it was a well planned pivot, from the day he stepped on campus at Notre Dame to playing in the Big Apple to Silicon Valley, all of his moves were centered around meeting the right people and making the most of each opportunity. With one of the best football careers, the guys dive into Justin's time with the Giants and the powerhouse defense he was a part of. Justin shares stories about playing along side of Giants legends like Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan, revealing how he learned by watching Strahan's every move—whether it was on the practice field or in the media spotlight he was always taking notes. Ryan asks about the career of QB Eli Manning, and whether Justin thinks Eli deserves to be a first ballot hall of famer this year as he shares first-hand insight on his opinion. Respecting the old school approach of Tom Coughlin and Steve Spagnuolo, who not only led the team to two titles, but helped instill a sense of discipline and determination off the field, Justin reflects on his years with the Giants and acknowledges the team may not have had all the flashiest players, but they played with a "brotherhood" that was unmatched: always competitive, never envious. Justin's story is still writing itself but the chapters continue as the foundation was built through planning, adaptability, and the power of mentorship. His life perspective is a reminder to young athletes not to let quick money- especially in the day-and-age of NIL- blind them to long-term opportunities. Grateful for the fame, fortune and memories, Justin can't pay it back so he continues to pay it forward by sharing details of his life's ups and downs hoping to impact others and help them become best versions of themselves.

In the latest installment of NFL Free Agency Updates, the New York Giants have emerged as proactive players in the offseason market, making several key signings aimed at fortifying their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Among the notable acquisitions by the Giants are tight end Chris Manhertz, offensive guard Aaron Stinnie, and versatile offensive lineman Austin Schlottmann. These signings underscore the Giants' commitment to addressing various positional needs and shoring up their squad for the challenges ahead.One of the most significant developments for the Giants comes in the form of the acquisition of quarterback Drew Lock, who arrives with a determination to compete for the starting quarterback position. Lock's addition to the Giants' roster signals a competitive push for the quarterback role, injecting a new dynamic into the team's quarterback room. The move also reflects the Giants' proactive approach to securing talent and fostering healthy competition within their ranks.The Giants' efforts to bolster their roster extend beyond player acquisitions, as evidenced by the meticulous attention to detail exhibited by newly acquired offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor. In a gesture of respect and reverence for the team's heritage, Eluemunor sought permission from former Giants player Osi Umenyiora before donning the iconic number 72. This demonstration of reverence highlights the Giants' emphasis on fostering a culture of respect and tradition within the organization.Furthermore, the Giants' signing of running back Devin Singletary adds depth and versatility to their backfield, as Singletary brings a wealth of experience and playmaking ability to the team. By retaining his familiar number 26 jersey with the Giants, Singletary aims to carve out his own legacy while inevitably drawing comparisons to former Giants star Saquon Barkley.Meanwhile, in broader NFL news, former Giants player Ben Bredeson finds a new home with the Buccaneers, adding to the roster depth of the reigning Super Bowl champions. Additionally, quarterback Kenny Pickett's trade to the Philadelphia Eagles, along with pick #120, marks a significant move in the Eagles' offseason strategy, further shaping their roster for the upcoming season. Amidst these player movements, the league bids farewell to legendary defensive tackle Aaron Donald, whose retirement marks the end of an illustrious career marked by dominance and excellence on the gridiron.As the NFL offseason progresses and teams continue to make moves to strengthen their rosters, the New York Giants stand poised to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of professional football with strategic signings, calculated acquisitions, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the field.#nygiants #giants #nflSupport the showAll Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & TwitchSponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsInterested in starting a podcast.
