Meet David Onyemata by Iamsheye(m): 5:30pm On Jul 18, 2017 |
David Onyemata (born November 13, 1992) is an American football defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Manitoba. Onyemata is a native of Lagos, Nigeria , where he attended the Chrisland Schools . He immigrated, on his own, to Winnipeg in 2011 to attend college. Onyemata had never seen a gridiron football game until he came to Winnipeg, but he became a standout player for the Bisons. He won the 2015 J. P. Metras Trophy as the top down lineman in CIS football , was invited to play in the East–West Shrine Game , and became the top Canadian prospect in the 2016 draft.

When David Onyemata came to Winnipeg, he knew nothing about football. He had never before strapped on the pads, let alone played a down. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, where gridiron football is not the sport of choice, Onyemata had a lot to learn. In the span of four years, Onyemata became the best defensive lineman in Canada, and last Monday he had 17 NFL scouts watching his every move for his pro day. During his pro day, which was the first ever held at the University of Manitoba, the six-foot-four, 300- pound lineman ran his 40-yard dash in 5.06 seconds and threw up a ridiculous 33 bench press reps of 225 pounds. Oneymata would have placed first in the bench press at the NFL scouting combine, and would have been among the top 10 with his 33- inch vertical jump had he been at the event.
