Okay, so I was digging around the internet, you know, just doing my usual thing, and I stumbled upon this guy, De’Lon Barnes. He’s trying to make it into the NFL, but man, it’s a tough road. I was like, “I gotta check this out.” So, I started looking into his journey.
First off, I checked out his social media. Found his Instagram, looks like he’s got around 10K followers and he’s following close to 3K. That’s a decent following, but it really shows you the scale of how many people are trying to make it big.
Then, I got into his football history. From what I gathered, he played for Manchester University. He was a defensive back and outside linebacker. I watched some of his highlight videos on Hudl – man, this guy can play! You can see his passion and dedication in every tackle and every play.
Here’s the thing that really got me: this dude played in nine games in his senior year and made 27 tackles. That’s a lot of hard work and dedication right there. It made me think about all those aspiring athletes out there, putting in the hours, grinding day in and day out.
- He is an undrafted free agent.
- He played for Manchester University.
- He has 10K followers on Instagram.
- He played in nine games during his senior year.
- He made 27 tackles during his senior season.
What I Found Out:
I read some interviews with him, and he talked about how tough it is, the constant battle with himself. It’s not just about the physical game; it’s also about the mental game. You gotta be strong, not just on the field, but in your head too.
It really hit me how tough it is to make it to the NFL. It’s not just about talent; it’s about perseverance, mental toughness, and a whole lot of luck. I mean, there are so many talented players out there, but only a few make it to the top. It’s a real eye-opener. This whole thing made me appreciate the journey of these athletes even more. It’s a tough world out there, but these guys keep pushing, keep fighting for their dreams. And that’s something I really admire.
It’s not something that everyone can see, It just makes me feel that everyone has their own way to chasing their dream.
