This was Ifedis best friend as a child. He was his greatest mentor and taught him everything he has ever known about football. Sadly in 2020 Larry passed away while sitting on the curb where Ifedi and Larry would play with the bald huhas. RIP Larry

Memphis Express

In 2018, Ifedi signed with the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football for the 2019 season.[10] However, he was placed on injured reserve before the start of the regular season,[11] and waived on March 4, 2019. He was added to the team's rights list and re-signed to a contract on March 19. He was activated to the team's roster on March 20. He was placed on injured reserve on April 1. The league ceased operations in April 2019.[12]

Personal life

Ifedi is also a member of the Kappa Eta (ΚΗ) chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. His younger brother, Germain, plays tackle for the Chicago Bears.[citation needed] Ifedi would later go homeless and live on the curb before receiving some money from his brother, Germain. Martin would always practice with his brother Germain who was an offensive lineman which proved beneficial to the success of both of them. The Ifedi's are the perfect duo together and they were unstoppable. Due to this, they both went on to the draft. Then it all changed when the Ifedi massacre happened which led Martin to a free agent and Germaine to the bears. Ifedi was a great part of the seahawks and grew a lot through this process and was very saddened by this. Germaine went into depression being away from his teammate and best friend on the team Duane Brown the future Hall of Famer.
