Every seat in the building.

I have spent 20 years inside the NFL and have held every seat that matters to how an organization treats its people. I played for three teams and served as a team captain. I am a Super Bowl champion and a two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year winner. I spent seven seasons as a replay assistant, seeing the game from the enforcement side. I spent eight years at the League Office, working alongside the player engagement team across all 32 clubs. Most recently I served as a club vice president, rebuilding and leading a department in one season.

Along the way I founded Believe in U, a youth nonprofit in Charlotte that has reached 3,000 students and raised $250,000, and earned a master's degree in strategic management from the Kelley School of Business, athlete development certification from The Wharton School, a leadership certification from the Center for Creative Leadership, and executive coaching training with XBInsight.

Usama Young Advisory exists because most organizations know what they want their people to feel and have no idea how to build it. I have done that work at the league level and inside a franchise, and I bring the same playbook to teams, universities and companies that compete on talent.

My operating philosophy fits on one line: take care of the people and the winning follows.
