Onome Ojo was born on June 3, 1977, in San Jose, California, to Nigerian parents.
[1] He attended The Urban School of San Francisco before going to college at UC Davis.
“When Onome first came in the office I thought he was a basketball player and was lost,” the coach said, “Then he said he was interested in playing football.
He said he had never played.”[3] During practice, Biggs said that Ojo was "a pretty impressive athlete" but was far from being a player.
What he lacks is instincts, the things a lot of kids learn because they have been playing so long.
[7] He spent time on the practice squad and inactive list for the Saints in 2001, and did not make any appearances.
