Roosevelt Falls will be getting his shot at the NFL.

The indoor football star of the Duke City Gladiators in New Mexico has been asked to workout for the Dallas Cowboys this week. Falls received the news in late March.

“I said are you serious? I’ll be there! I’m humbled to have this opportunity," Falls said, via Andres Trujillo of the team website. "I am blessed with this opportunity.”

In 2010, Falls went undrafted out of Louisiana Tech where he played as a fullback and special teamer.

He's had several stints in the Arena Football League circuit since then where he eventually wound up on the Gladiators of Professional Indoor Football this season. In three games so far, the 6-foot-2, 250-pound linebacker/pass rusher has 24 tackles and 5.5 sacks. Check out some of his career highlights in the videos embedded below.







Falls is looking forward to his opportunity to showcase his skills for America's Team.

“It’s big to get the opportunity to play at the highest level of football," Falls said. "These are the opportunities that every guy in every league is looking for. It has been 5 years for me since I was in college. There’s nothing like doing what you love to do and working to support your family. I feel that my sacrifices are paying off.”
