British NFL star Efe Obada has signed with the Washington Commanders for the 2022 season in a ‘full circle’ moment for the defensive end.
In 2018, Obada became the first player from the International Pathway Program to earn a 53-man roster spot in the NFL. He joined the Carolina Panthers and, under the leadership of Ron Rivera, established himself as a genuine threat to opposition quarterbacks.
Obada sacked the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady in 2020 before moving to the Buffalo Bills, where he experienced the playoffs for the first time. Unfortunately, the Bills crashed out at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs - but Obada has now landed at the place he perhaps always wanted to be.
