From homeless to pro football: What happens to the guys who never quite make it?
In an effort to land a look by an NFL team, he slept on a mattress outside of a community center, had no money, and lied his way into the tryout. You always hear about the athlete, or entertainer, who sleeps in their car, or eats the leftovers behind the restaurant in the alley, before catching the break to realize their dream. You never hear about the people who do the same things but never reach that status. Advertisement There are far more examples of those. Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi is not a wide receiver you'd know. You may have heard his story as the guy who was 'homeless' before he caught on for hot minute with the Cleveland Browns, when he was 21. That was in 2019. Today, Sheehy-Guiseppi is 30, and just completed the season with the UFL's Arlington Renegades, who missed the playoffs. Considering where Sheehy-Guiseppi began, he should never have played a game beyond unior college. He can always say he made it as a pro football player. He was paid, and sometimes housed, to play football. It just wasn't in the NFL. Advertisement Whether this qualifies as 'success,' or a dream fulfilled, depends not on the fan, coach, or scout but Sheehy-Guiseppi. A high point in the football career of Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi (right) when he was with the Cleveland Browns during training camp in 2019. He just finished the season with the Arlington Renegades of the UFL. Never quitting football Sheehy-Guiseppi ran track in junior college before he transferred to another community college and tried out for the football team. In 2016, he was first team National Junior College Athletic Association All-American after he led the nation in kick return yards for Phoenix College. This is the part how he became 'homeless.' After his college career ended following the '16 season, he was done with football before he decided to give it one more try. He had been given an address of an NFL free agent workout near Miami. Advertisement 'I saved enough money for a one-way ticket to Miami,' he told the Star-Telegram in an interview of his trip from Phoenix to South Beach in the spring of 2016. 'I didn't have a car. I had a cell phone. That was it.' When he landed, he had no money. Someone spotted him at the bus stop outside the airport and gave him $5 for a one way ride that would drop him off about one mile from the facility. When he arrived for the tryout, his name was not on an invite list with the approximately 15 other players. He knew one name to name drop his way into a workout. That part worked. But he had no place to stay. Advertisement 'I found a Jewish Community Center that was gated, so my first night in town I found this little grass spot in the back and I thought, 'I'm going to stay here,'' he said. 'Then I found a mattress that was going in the trash. I dragged that over behind the bushes and trees. No one could see it. 'I made sure I woke up early enough to get my workout in. Then I would go to the beach. Go to a laundromat. Relax. I would just walk around with my duffle bag until it was time to lay down again.' He ran into a familiar face at the tryout, who knew an agent, who took him to lunch. It was the first meal he ate since the Chex Mix on the plane. He ate, and took their to go boxes. Not entirely sure of the agent's intentions, he passed on the ride and instead had to call a friend in Phoenix to arrange a cab to the Jewish Community Center. This was one week of his life, but it paid off when the Browns invited him for a tryout in Cleveland. Advertisement No one ever caught him sleeping on that mattress behind the Jewish Community Center. 'Making it' in the pros During his tryout with the Browns, he ran a 4.38 40-yard dash. That earned him an invite to training camp. He had turned a decimal point of an opportunity that he created by himself into a real look. In the team's first preseason game of the 2019 season, he returned a punt 86 yards for a score. Less than a month later, he was cut. 'After that, it all gets a little blurry. I don't remember the teams but I remember the leagues,' he said. 'It was the XFL in 2020. Then it was off to The Spring League. ... I think, in all, it was 10 leagues.' Advertisement Using Phoenix as his home base, where his mother lives, he never did stop chasing football. He signed to play with the XFL when it launched in 2020, but that ended a few months after it started because of COVID. 'The Spring League' was an actual developmental league, that folded in 2021. He signed with the CFL but never played in a game because of injury. He signed, in 2022, with Major League Football, which closed during training camp. Late in 2023, he signed with a team in Italy, and led his team the following year in receptions, yards and touchdown catches. He was named that league's offensive player of the year in 2024. 'Now that was super fun,' he said. 'It's the same game, but the speed of it was different.' Advertisement After that season, he signed with the UFL for 2025, but battled injuries nearly that kept him on the sideline for most of the season.. He said playing for the Arlington Renegades is the most money he's made as a pro. If someone had told him when he started this that he could be a pro football player, but that this is what being a 'pro player' is, would he do it? 'Tough question. I would do it because it's not over. So I feel like my end goal is still gonna happen,' said Sheehy-Guiseppi, who hopes to eventually work with young players to help them navigate a system that can crush them if they are not careful. His end goal is one more try out. One more look by an NFL team. Advertisement Whether it comes or not, Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi has had a career as a pro football player. He was paid to play football. Not a lot, and it wasn't in the NFL. Whether this qualifies as 'success,' or a dream fulfilled, depends not on the fan, coach, or scout but Sheehy-Guiseppi.

UFL Week 10 By The Numbers: Defenders, Battlehawks tie for most All-UFL selections
The 10th and final week of the 2025 UFL regular season gave football fans a preview of what to expect in the playoffs, and expectations are high for the four remaining teams — the St. Louis Battlehawks , Birmingham Stallions , Michigan Panthers and DC Defenders . Here are the numbers to know after Week 10. 2: Birmingham LB Tae Crowder became the first player in UFL history with two pick-sixes in a single game. The former "Mr. Irrelevant" of the 2020 NFL Draft got things started with his first score in the opening quarter and capped it off with another in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Showboats on his own in the Stallions' 46-9 blowout victory. 7: Following the conclusion of the regular season, DC and St Louis tied for the most All-UFL selections in the league this season with seven apiece. DC was led by their four players on the All-Defense team: DT Joe Wallace, Edge Derick Roberson, LB Anthony Hines and CB Deandre Baker. The Battlehawks were led by RB Jacob Saylors, along with the league leader in sacks, Pita Taumoepenu, and kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, who only missed one field goal all season. Those two teams will meet in the XFL Conference Championship Game at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday on FOX. 8: St Louis picked up its eighth win of the season in a rain-soaked 13-8 victory over DC on Friday. The Battlehawks finished the regular season with the league's best record after closing the season on a six-game win streak. By only allowing eight points in the game, St Louis' No. 1-ranked scoring defense held opponents to single digits in five of its 10 games this season. 46: Birmingham's 46 points in a win over Memphis were the most scored by a team in any game in the UFL this season and the second most in league history. The Stallions were one point shy of the UFL record set by Arlington last season when they scored 47 points – also against Memphis. 100: Since J'Mar Smith took over as the starting QB for the Stallions with three weeks to play in the regular season, Birmingham has scored 100 points (or 33.3 points per game). Smith's return to the defending champions has been one of the stories of the season in the UFL. 120: Despite only becoming the primary ballcarrier in Week 7, San Antonio's Jashaun Corbin finished the season by averaging 120 total yards over his last four games. Corbin's late-season surge also landed him an All-UFL selection and the rushing title for 2025. 283: Arlington QB Luis Perez finished out the season in style, going 26-32 for 283 yards with a rush TD in the Renegades' 23-6 win over the Brahmas. With that performance, Perez passed DC's Jordan Ta'amu for the league's passing title – an accolade Perez has now won in back-to-back seasons. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Former Georgia star DB named to All-UFL team
Former Georgia star DB named to All-UFL team Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Deandre Baker is having an outstanding season as he hopes to earn another NFL opportunity. Baker is making a significant impact with DC Defenders in the United Football League (UFL). His excellent season earned him All-UFL honors. Baker is one of four DC Defenders to make the All-UFL defense. Baker proved himself to be among the elite cornerbacks in the UFL. He finished the regular season with 22 total tackles (four tackles for a loss), two interceptions and 10 pass breakups in eight games. Baker's top play of the season came in the form of a game-clinching interception with under five seconds left in the game. Baker's interception clinched a playoff berth for the Defenders, who finished the regular season with a 6-4 record. Baker is a former New York Giants 2019 first-round NFL draft pick, but has not played in the NFL since the 2021 season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Baker has battled several serious injuries throughout his career including suffering a broken left femur in Jan. 2021. The former UGA standout tried out with the Dallas Cowboys last offseason, but he failed to make the Cowboys' roster. Former Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, another All-UFL selection, and the St. Louis Battlehawks will play the DC Defenders in the playoffs on Sunday, June 8 at 6:00 p.m. ET (televised on FOX).
