Jeffrey C. Otah (born June 17, 1986) is a Nigerian American former professional football offensive tackle.

The Carolina Panthers were reportedly very interested in him, evident by them sending head coach John Fox and General Manager Marty Hurney to his pro-day.

Otah started the 2010 season recovering from what was then thought to be relatively minor knee surgery performed in mid-August.

[6][7] Otah's knee problems persisted into the 2011 season, and he was placed on injured reserve again on 19 October 2011, after missing two of six games.

[8] Otah was traded to the New York Jets for an undisclosed draft pick on July 23, 2012 contingent on his passing a physical for the team.
