Osi Umenyiora is one of the most successful Defensive Ends in the history of Troy University, and the former All-Southland player helped put his old school on the football map.

It is always onward and upward for us at Notinhalloffame.com, and as such we wanted to take the time to update our Football Futures section.  This is the portion of the website where you have the opportunity to let us know your opinion as whether retired players who are not yet eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame should be enshrined in Canton.  This process also helps us establish where these players should be ranked once eligible.

We already had the Football Futures from 2016, 2017 and 2018 up, and recently we have updated our 2017 Football Futures and our2018 Football Futures Section, and recently we unveiled the brand new 2019 Football Futures Section.

We have one more section in Football that we put up, and yes, you guessed correctly with the new 2020 Football Futures.

The 2019 Football Futures consist of:

Brandon Lloyd, a Wide Receiver who was a one time Pro Bowl Selection.

Regular visitors to the website, you know what we want you to do!

Take a look at this new section and let your voice be heard.  Cast a vote and offer your opinion on this group of gridiron greats.

At the end of this football season, we will add anyone else who should belong in the 2020 section, namely those who have not retired yet but have not suited up for an NFL team this season. 

As always we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support and pledge to continue to bring you more Hall of Fame related content!

Osi Umenyiora was a vital part of the New York Giants success in late 2000’s and early 2010’s, most notably helping them win two Super Bowls. The British born pass rusher holds the single season record for forced fumbles and was a two time First Team All Pro. He may not make it to the Hall of Fame, but fans of the G-Men will never forget what he did for that franchise.

Perhaps it did not get the attention it should have but former New York Giant and two-time Super Bowl Champion, Osi Umenyiora retired this week.

Umenyiora, a former second round draft choice out of Troy, would shine the brightest when the pressure was on and Umenyiora would make two Pro Bowl Teams along with a pair of All Pro Selections.  The Linebacker would record 85 Quarterback Sacks, including three seasons where he recorded two digit Sack campaigns.

The Nigerian born player was a major force in the G-Men’s last Super Bowl win and while he is unlikely to be honored by Canton, it is very possible that the Giants will honor him in some capacity now that his playing career is over.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Osi Umenyiora for the memories and wish him the best in his post NFL playing career.
