"I'm my harshest critic, and I understand that it's a competitive league," he said. "So getting praise in May and June isn't going to get me a job in September. Honestly, I've just got to focus on learning the plays and trying to do everything right, catching the ball and just staying focused on my job, so that he's saying good things about me when the season starts."

Agudosi was quite the basketball player in high school, drawing interest from some mid-major college programs. He played on an AAU team in New Jersey which featured Kyrie Irving one age group above him.

While the hardwood would have been a legitimate option, Agudosi said his first love was always football, and he never second-guessed the choice despite his bumpy career.

"I didn't regret it at all," Agudosi said. "I was doing what I loved to do, and I knew that everything happens for a reason. I saw myself getting better, and I knew with my physical traits that if I was able to get better and learn the game, I'd have a chance."

Now he's on a 90-man roster in the NFL, and as training camp approaches, Agudosi is hoping to unlock that potential and finally make his mark.
