Emmanuel Chinedum Acho is a Nigerian-American former NFL linebacker turned sports analyst.
Born to Nigerian immigrant parents, Acho played college football at the University of Texas before being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2012.
After his NFL career, he transitioned to broadcasting, working as an analyst for Fox Sports 1.
In response to racial tensions following George Floyd's death, Acho created the "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man" video series, which later became a book.
His unique perspective as a Black man in America, combined with his sports background and communication skills, has made him a prominent voice in discussions about race and social justice.
