So awesome. God damn I hope this guy makes it all the way.
 
The "experts" still say his raw talent should be good enough for a practice squad, I hope Arthur Blank's praise for him is enough for the Falcons to call him back or another team to pick him up.
 
Even though I'm not a fan of the CFL, I hope he comes here!
Or then again, maybe it's better he doesn't play football and get brain degradation.
 
I fully believe this man will play in the NFL. After all he's been through and how fucking good he is despite having never played college ball, I just know he'll be playing soon enough. Nobody can deny that he has motivation and mental strength beyond any normal human being, and his story is quite possibly the most inspiring I've ever heard for a sports player. They need to make a fucking movie about this guy.

I think he will make practice squad, he did make it too pretty much the last cut so that's pretty good. He just missed so much football he's having to play catch up. All these guys had college to learn how to play the game the right way, he got none of that. He'll most likely get on the practice squad, learn the right way to play the game over the season, and make the full roster next year.
 
I admit the chances of him really making it are slim. But if he somehow makes it, can you even possibly imagine the feeling he would have stepping out onto the field for his first game? I don't think words could describe it, I would be bawling my eyes out.
 
If anyone deserves the chance to walk out onto the field on game day, its this guy. I hope he sticks with it amd makes it a reality.
 
It was a long shot, but hey it's amazing he made it this far. Falcons owner, Arthur Blank really likes him and apparently wants to keep him around the franchise in some capacity.
 
There's always the CFL.

Yeah, CFL scouts watch the last round of NFL cuts with a lot of interest. There's a chance he could make a squad there, or get on another practice squad in the NFL.

He sounds like he's decently talented, but I wouldn't be surprised if a team takes him on for PR reasons.
