.@Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves is headed to the #ProBowlGames for the first time in his career.

From going undrafted, to multiple roster cuts, to making a name for himself on special teams, @JR1ERA’s journey to Las Vegas is inspiring. 💪 (THREAD ⬇️)
After four years at @SouthAlabamaFB, Reaves went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft.

He signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, but was waived before the season.
Jeremy joined the practice squad in Washington in 2018. He would be part of the final roster cuts for each of the following four seasons, spending time back and forth from the practice squad, active roster, and waivers.
In November 2021, Jeremy’s mom passed away. He wanted to honor her by dedicating himself to the game and being the best player he can be on the field. 🙏

“I know my mom would’ve wanted me to keep going.” (via @NBCSCommanders)

Reaves just kept going. For the first time in his career, he made the team’s final 53-man roster before the start of this season.

Jeremy has played on more special teams snaps and has more special teams tackles than any other player in the league. 💪
His breakout season earned him a spot on the #ProBowlGames roster.

When Coach Rivera delivered the news, the emotion hit. Jeremy’s perseverance and dedication paid off. ❤️ (via @Commanders)
More than deserving @JR1ERA 👏 See you in Las Vegas.

The #WPMOY Award is the most prestigious honor in the NFL, given to a player that exemplifies greatness on and off the field.

But to understand the significance of this achievement, it's important to the know the man who the award was named after. 🧵 Image
Walter Payton was born on July 25th, 1954, in Columbia, Mississippi. As a child, he was involved with his church and Boy Scouts, which shaped his strong character.

He did not play football until his junior year of high school, not wanting to compete with his brother Eddie.
Image
Image
Once Eddie graduated, Walter agreed to play on the team and immediately became a star. During his senior year, his all-Black school integrated, and Payton’s athletic performance and sheer determination helped ease the tension around desegregation in his community. Image

Dan Campbell and @SeanPayton have known each other for nearly 25 years, and this is the first time they’ll meet as head coaches.

Their friendship began when TE Dan Campbell was drafted in 1999 by the @Giants, where Payton was a QB coach.

When @SeanPayton moved to Dallas to become the @dallascowboys assistant HC, Campbell was one of the first free agents to sign with Dallas. He was there for 3 years before signing with Detroit.
