Xavier Grimble knew the NFL offered no guarantees. But he was determined to make the most of his opportunity. Undrafted and bouncing around the league, Grimble shared the story of being cut and becoming a free agent with a cloudy football future.
“This is what it is. I’m cut, I’m back home, I’m driving with my kid,” he said in a snippet of his new Athletes Group Chat podcast. “And I got 27 cents to my name.”
The full episode doesn’t appear to have been released but the channel provided a one-minute short of Grimble, a Steelers tight end for four seasons, sharing part of his story.
