Efe Obada Biography
Efe Obada (born April 13, 1992) is a Nigerian-British professional American football defensive end for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He did not play college football as he was born in Nigeria and grew up in the United Kingdom, where he became the first international player to go straight from an American football European league to the NFL.
In 2014, Obada began playing for the London Warriors of the British American Football Association National Leagues. He appeared in 5 games, while playing tight end and defensive end.
Based on a recommendation from Warriors defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who previously served as an intern coach with the Dallas Cowboys in 2014, Obada was given the opportunity to work out for the team days before their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Although he was raw and didn’t have much experience, he was signed as an undrafted free agent on April 1, 2015.
On July 28, 2016, he was signed by the Atlanta Falcons. He was waived on August 27.
Obada was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs on March 9, 2016. He was released by the team on June 7.
In rookie mini-camp he was tried on the first days at tight end, before the team decided to move him to defensive end, where the learning curve would not be as steep. He was waived on September 5. On September 23, he was signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad. On October 7, he was released to make room for linebacker Keith Smith. On December 2, he was re-signed to the practice squad. He was waived on March 2, 2016.
On May 25, 2017, Obada was signed by the Carolina Panthers, through the new NFL’s International Player Pathway program, that guaranteed him a position on the team, after it granted an 11th practice squad slot to all four NFC South clubs (the division was selected in a random draw), so they could sign an international player. As part of the program conditions, he was ineligible to be promoted to the 53-man roster during the regular season. He was waived by the Panthers on September 1, 2017, and was re-signed to the practice squad. He signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on January 8, 2018.
On January 23, 2019, Obada signed a one-year contract extension with the Panthers. On October 13, 2019, Obada was made an honorary captain for the Panther’s NFL London Game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of an emotional day for him. On January 6, 2020, Obada signed a one-year contract extension with the Panthers.
