Africa's NFL stars played significant roles for their teams in the just-concluded season, with players from Nigeria, which makes up the highest-contributing African nation, doing especially well.
Brandon Aiyuk, who is of Cameroonian heritage, was immense for the San Francisco 49ers in their run to the Super Bowl. Charles Omenihu (of Nigerian descent) played a key role in getting eventual champions the Kansas City Chiefs to the Allegiant, and Felix Anudike-Uzomah filled in nicely when the occasion came with his compatriot injured.
Meanwhile, Justin Madubuike (Nigeria, Baltimore Ravens), Boye Mafe (Nigeria, Seattle Seahawks) and YaYa Diaby (Guinea, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) were some of the other players who had noteworthy seasons.
