Omon's Tragic Family Background

The Bills 6th round draft pick, Xavier Oman, has a tragic story in his family history. The RB from NW Missouri State wears the number two for a reason--he wants to honor his two deceased brothers. In 1999, when Xavier was 14-years old, his older brother,Demetrius Oman, was killed by a drunken driver. In 2000, another brother, Effiong, committed suicide. Before his junior season at NW Missouri State, Oman changed his jersey number from 32 to 2, to honor the memory of his brothers.
