Additional information:

• Michael Anthony Strahan (born November 21, 1971) is an American television host and former professional football defensive end who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 15 seasons with the New York Giants.
• When Strahan was 9, his family moved to Army post BFV (Benjamin Franklin Village) in Mannheim, West Germany. Strahan attended Mannheim American High School (MAHS), a US Department of Defense Dependent High School, and played linebacker for the Mannheim Bison, the school's football team.
• The summer before Strahan's senior year of high school, his father sent him to live with his uncle Art in Houston so he could attend Westbury High School.
• Strahan was selected in the second round by the New York Giants in 1993.[10] He played in only six games due to injuries, and missed the Giants' two playoff games that season. After a few unremarkable seasons, Strahan had a breakout season in 1997, recording 14 sacks. He was voted into his first Pro Bowl and was also named First-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. In 1998, Strahan continued his success, racking up 15 sacks and being voted into his second Pro-Bowl and All-Pro team. In week 8 of the 1999 season, Strahan returned an interception 44 yards for a game-winning overtime touchdown in a 23–17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
• Strahan flew on a suborbital space flight on December 11, 2021, aboard the Blue Origin NS-19. At 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m), he became the tallest person to fly in space. Strahan, along with the other members of Blue Origins NS-19, were the final recipients of the FAA Commercial Space Astronaut Wings, an aviator wings-like badge created by the Federal Aviation Administration to encourage and draw attention to commercial space flight.
