How about this nugget from Joe Burrow about Dohnte Meyers: "The week before training camp, I texted him, 'Hey, are you in town?' He's like, 'I can be.' And I was like, can you be here tomorrow at 11? He's like, yeah. Come to find out he drove from Atlanta that night to be there

Paul Dehner Jr.

New | From zero stars to DoorDash to a CFL open tryout, all Dohnte Meyers ever wanted was an opportunity. Tonight, the talk of #Bengals camp gets one. His journey might be a fairy tale, but his path to the 53 is quite real. ✍️: https://t.co/w95YkhwDv3
