Omenihu, 24, has recorded 41 tackles, seven sacks, four passes defensed, and two forced fumbles in 35 game appearances (seven starts) through his three NFL seasons. His most productive season came in 2020 when he brought down opposing quarterbacks four times while recording 17 tackles, five tackles for a loss, and 16 quarterback hits.
