Playing football was part of the "Family Business." Lofa knew that he wanted to play in the NFL, however he didn't receive any top University attention during high school. After one year at Maine the opportunity came. Listen to an amazing story of grit and determination and never giving up!
When the Seattle Seahawks drafted an under-sized, and smaller framed linebacker in the form of Lofa Tatupu in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft, many were skeptical that he would be a success in the NFL. But over a career that spanned six seasons before being cut short through injury, that included three Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection, a Super Bowl appearance and an enshrinement into the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame in 2019, it was fair to say that Tatupu did just fine. As a hard-hitting and fearless tackler, with an outstanding football IQ, paired with athletic ability that allowed him to play above his size and make some unbelievable plays on the football, Tatupu was an opposing offense’s worst nightmare.
