Jared Allen & Osi Umenyiora Named to NFL London Games Ring of Honour

LONDON — The National Football League has announced its first-ever NFL London Games Ring of Honour ceremony, taking place during halftime festivities of the New York Jets-Minnesota Vikings game on Oct. 6 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

To celebrate the 17-year history of the NFL playing in the U.K., the league will recognize two NFL Legends that have had an impact on the game: London-born, two-time Super Bowl champion Osi Umenyiora and five-time Pro Bowler Jared Allen.

The NFL London Games Ring of Honour ceremony recognizes those who have contributed to the growth and development of football in the U.K. and Ireland — both on- and off-the-field.

As part of the halftime ceremony, Allen and Umenyiora will make brief remarks on-field and banners paying homage to their careers will be revealed. Banners will be displayed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium throughout the 2024 London Games, and they will return in the NFL seasons ahead.

“The sport and the league have grown tremendously in the last 17 years, and we’ve seen the incredible impact that growth has had on young athletes and fans alike,” Umenyiora said. “I look forward to helping continue the league’s international expansion in the years ahead and to inspire talent across the world.”
