Jacob Saylors is a football player in the truest sense of the word. Coming out of FCS East Tennessee State, Saylors put together an All-Conference career that saw him accumulate almost 4,000 rushing yards along with 33 touchdowns. In 2023, like the majority of college football players, Saylors went undrafted, beginning an arduous journey of finding a spot on an NFL active roster.
From 2023 to today, Saylors' journey was less than linear. Cut by the Bengals (2023), a couple weeks on the practice squad for the Falcons (2023). He joined the UFL as a third-string option behind Wayne Gallman and Mataeo Durant, and became an All-UFL back.
