Donovan McNabb still has nightmares.
Who could ever forget Osi Umenyiora’s six sack performance against the Philadelphia Eagles? The sheer dominance on display was like art unfolding.
Umenyiora’s career was much more than one dominant performance thought – his abilities helped propel the NY Giants to two Super Bowl victories. Umenyiora and his fellow defensive lineman were one of, if not the biggest reasons for Giants’ victories in those games.
Umenyiora was one of the NY Giants’ premier players for ten years – a decade where he accumulated 75 sacks for New York.
