NFL star fights back tears after hearing Pro Bowl selection in heart-warming clip

Washington Commanders safety and special teams star Jeremy Reaves was made aware that he had been selected to a Pro Bowl in a heart-warming moment caught on camera. Reaves has spent five years in the league, but only made it on to a 53-man roster for the first time this year after being cut five times.

After being undrafted in 2018, Reaves signed with the Philadelphia Eagles for pre-season, but did not make the roster and was cut before being picked up by the Washington franchise and assigned to their practice squad.

Each season up until 2022, Reaves had spent time on the practice squad and had been elevated to the main roster for gamedays in 2019, but would be waived three more times and never making the 53-man roster on a permanent occasion.
