Muhammed-Kabeer Olanrewaju Gbaja-Biamila (/kəˈbɪər ˈbɑːdʒɑː ˌbiːəˈmɪlə/; born September 24, 1977), nicknamed "KGB", is a former American football defensive end who played nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at San Diego State. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, and played his entire career for the Packers. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2003.
Gbaja-Biamila attended Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, California and was a student and a three-year letterman in football, and in track and field. As a senior, he was named the Central City Defensive Lineman of the Year.
While attending Crenshaw High School, Gbaja-Biamila was a student-owner of 'Food From the Hood', an organic food company that sprang from the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Food From the Hood eventually went on to launch a line of salad dressings that appeared in major Southern California grocery chains as well as on Amazon.com. For their work, Food From the Hood received the "American Achievement Award" from Newsweek, which featured both Gbaja-Biamila and other founders on its cover. On November 1, 1994 Prince Charles paid a visit to Crenshaw High School, upon an invitation from Food From The Hood.
