Patrick Chuba Omameh Jr. (born December 29, 1989) is an American former professional football offensive guard. The son of Nigerian immigrants to the United States, he played college football for the University of Michigan Wolverines from 2009 to 2012. He progressed from being the program's lowest-ranked prospect to starting 41 consecutive games for the team.

Omameh went undrafted in 2013, and signed with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL) as a free agent. He subsequently played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2013 to 2014; his later teams included the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers. Omameh ended his career after being released by the Panthers in 2022, having appeared in 89 regular season NFL games and four playoff games.

Early life

When Omameh was in fourth grade, he did not know what American football was and when he asked his father about it, his father brought out a soccer ball. One of the football coaches persuaded Patrick's parents to let him play, offering to take him to and from practice every day. On the first day of football practice, he wore sandals and a wristwatch.{{Cite web |last=Snyder, Mark |date=November 22, 2012 |title=Michigan offensive lineman Patrick Omameh a star on, off field |url=http://www.freep.com/article/20121122/SPORTS06/311220174/Michigan-wolverines-Patrick-Omameh-a-star-on-off-field |access-date=November 29, 2012 |website=Detroit Free Press}} As a senior at St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus, Ohio, Omameh was selected as a 2007 Division II All-Ohio first team offensive lineman and member of The Columbus Dispatch All-metro team.{{Cite web |date=November 27, 2007 |title=Division I, II All-Ohio football selections |url=http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2007/11/27/hsfx27_ART_11-27-07_C6_1Q8JL1S.html |access-date=November 28, 2012 |website=The Columbus Dispatch |archive-date=December 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226090037/http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2007/11/27/hsfx27_ART_11-27-07_C6_1Q8JL1S.html |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web |last=Blackledge, Steve |date=December 3, 2007 |title=Stoudt, Machen lead all-star team: Quarterback, linebacker come of age as seniors |url=http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2007/12/01/hsfb_all-metro01.ART_ART_12-01-07_C7_1R8KVBU.html |access-date=November 28, 2012 |website=The Columbus Dispatch |archive-date=December 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226094623/http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2007/12/01/hsfb_all-metro01.ART_ART_12-01-07_C7_1R8KVBU.html |url-status=dead }} He was a straight-A student recruited by the likes of Princeton University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
