Dohnte Meyers went undrafted in 2023 out of Delta State, a Division II school in Mississippi.

He got a tryout at Atlanta Falcons rookie minicamp. It didn't take.

So he started driving for DoorDash.

Train during the day. Deliver food at night. Sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning. Then get up and do it again, waiting for a football phone call that wasn't coming.

Eventually he heard about an open tryout in Atlanta for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL.

It cost $100 to participate. Out of pocket. His own money, from delivering food, for a chance to stand on a field with a few hundred other guys hoping somebody was watching.

He paid it.

"I balled out," Meyers said later.

Saskatchewan signed him to a futures contract in October 2023.

Then everything went wrong again. A broken hand delayed his 2024 debut. A separated shoulder ended his season early. Two years into professional football and he'd barely played.

"That was the only thing that could really provide some stability," Meyers said about leaning on his faith through that stretch.

Then 2025 happened.

65 catches. 1,056 yards. 8 touchdowns. CFL West Division All-Star. And a Grey Cup, Canada's championship, with Saskatchewan.

A Bengals scouting executive whose job is watching other pro leagues flagged him. Cincinnati brought him in for a January workout and signed him to a reserve/future contract.

That's usually where these stories end. A camp body in a receiver room that already has Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Here's the part that changed it.

The week before training camp, Joe Burrow texted him asking if he was in town for a throwing session.

Meyers was in Atlanta. The workout was the next morning at 11.

He said yes anyway, got in the car with his brother riding shotgun, and drove seven hours through the night. About 460 miles. He walked into that session on no sleep.

Burrow only found out about the drive afterward, face to face.

"I texted him, 'Hey, are you in town?' He's like, 'I can be.' I was like, 'Can you be here tomorrow at 11?' He's like, 'Yeah,'" Burrow said. "Come to find out he drove from Atlanta that night to be there to throw the next day. That's the kind of guy that he is."

Meyers explained it simply.

"Whether I've got to fly, whether I've got to drive, if the quarterback says he wants to throw, I'm ready to work. I'm not gonna let him outwork me. If he's ready to throw, I'm ready to catch."

Through three preseason games, he caught 11 passes for 121 yards, added 22 rushing yards, and 99 return yards. He took first-team reps with Burrow. The two of them stayed 40 minutes after one practice working on routes.

Today, Cincinnati cut down to 53 players.

Wide receivers coach Troy Walters called him on FaceTime to tell him.

"The sweet part about it is I get to tell a guy who worked out for us last December, came from the CFL and then we signed in February, spent hours in the coaches' office studying the playbook, made plays in the preseason. I just wanted to personally tell you congratulations for making the 53-man roster."

Meyers is 26 years old, 5-foot-11, 186 pounds. Three years ago he was delivering food and scraping together a hundred dollars for a tryout in another country.

On September 13th, he'll be on an NFL field catching passes from Joe Burrow.

Why did Kelsey Mitchell skip Team USA for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 🏀👀

The Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell could have been preparing for Team USA, but instead, she's working toward becoming Dr. Mitchell. 🎓

The 30-year-old didn't try out for Team USA's FIBA World Cup roster because she's currently earning her PhD in Educational Leadership.

And she's doing it while putting up career-best numbers in the WNBA. 🧐

Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 24 points per game and shooting 42% from three for the Indiana Fever, while also balancing coursework, discussion posts, and 20-page papers before games.

Her goal goes beyond basketball: Kelsey Mitchell wants to become an athletic director and help student-athletes navigate the changing world of college sports. 👌

She may be missing the FIBA World Cup, but she's already won a 3x3 World Cup gold medal.

WNBA superstar. Future athletic director. Dr. Mitchell in the making.

Would you make the same choice in her place? Please do watch the video and tell us below. 👇

[Andre Champagne @andrechampagnee]

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

#LSU assistant coach Seimone Augustus is one of two people on the staff/roster who speaks Russian.

She learned the language while playing overseas with Dynamo Kursk.

Her ability to do so could be a major asset as Anna Minaeva transitions to Baton Rouge.

[Guitar Gods Unleashed @gguworld]

This is the first time Guns N' Roses ever played "Patience" live, a cramped room at CBGB, October 1987, about 100 people watching.

Appetite was stalled at #65. Axl's reading the lyrics off a sheet because they'd just written it. Weeks later, everything changed.
