Etuini Haloti Ngata (born January 21, 1984 in Inglewood, California) is an American former professional football defensive tackle. He played 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played for the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles. Ngata was drafted out of the University of Oregon by the Baltimore Ravens with the 12th pick in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Ngata was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2010 and 2011. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.

College career

While with the Oregon Ducks, Ngata was successful. Ngata totaled 107 tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, and 6.5 sacks total in the 2004 and 2005 seasons after tearing his ACL in 2003.

Professional career

In 2006, Ngata had one interception and a 60-yard return, and had two picks for eight yards in 2008. He was an important part of the Baltimore defense.

In 2011, Ngata scored his first NFL regular season touchdown when he recovered a fumble forced by Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis on St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford. A week later against the New York Jets, a sack by Ngata forced a Mark Sanchez fumble, which fellow Baltimore defender Jarret Johnson, who scored one of three defensive touchdowns for the Ravens in that game. It later emerged that Ngata played much of the rest of the year injured, which would explain his decline in production.

Ngata (92, turned away) with some Baltimore Ravens teammates in 2006.

In his NFL career, Ngata has made 311 tackles (206 alone), 17 sacks, knocked down 18 passes, forced four fumbles, and caught three interceptions, which he returned for a total of 68 yards with the Baltimore Ravens. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2009 and 2010. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.

On March 18, 2019, Ngata announced that he was retiring from playing professional football. He announced this by posting a picture of himself on top of Mount Kilimanjaro with the caption "I'm retiring from the NFL on top".^[1] He signed a one-day contract with Baltimore to retire as a Raven on May 28, 2019.^[2] On October 11, 2021, Ngata was inducted into the Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor.^[3]
