I read the title thinking this guy was some scumbag con artist. Turns out he is one of the most determined person on this planet. I wish this man the best.
Man. He jus inspired me not to give up on nun I say I wanna do even if I kno I’ll have a small chance of making it💯
@@NoLuck._AK that's a really cool story man
100%
Facts
@@NoLuck._AK give up on nun? Am i reading this wrong?
I remember reading about this. I was just browsing my Brown's news and I saw that this dude lied about being invited, finessed everybody and got a contract. Mad respect to this dude
Browns are going for all the sports movies. This kid is Willie Mays Hayes, we got a Scottish kicker like from the replacements, now we're going for brothers who were good together but sucked separated.
@Georgia GoldenGloves this dude fr just called the nfl an honest sport lmao
@Georgia GoldenGloves 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️ you tweaking!!! Lol
did he make the team ?
osu5inarow 💯💯💯
This man pulled up from outside the stadium and still drained a 3.
Will Ford facts
Who dat!!! #70114
He hasn't swished the net quite yet. But if he continues to impress the coaches, he could.
with the foul
Basketball arenas are never referenced as stadiums.
I'm a Brown's fan and remember this guy. I was really upset they cut him, especially after he took a kickoff to the house in a preseason game. How can you not admire this guy??
Why did they cut him?
In another preseason game he fumbled and got injured on the play then they cut him
CFL: no
AFL: no
Cleveland Browns: heck yeah
Go figure
The browns are the most ideal team because it's about proving rather than obtaining...
The Browns really don’t give a shit about where you from just if you can perform
@@PierceBound Wait, whut? Are you talking about the same Browns I am thinking of?
They cut him from the team
he got cut
It’s crazy that a single TH-camr puts out more interesting content than a billion dollar franchise (espn)
Cause they’re owned by Disney, and all they do now is hire Women who barely know anything.
@@IblewuponyourfaceIII and then they hire bums like Ryan hollis for them just to say retarded shit for shock value

Facts
And just got an 86 yard TOUCHDOWN on his first punt return.
EDIT: 544 likes as of noon in 12 hours on a weeks old video. Prepare to see his jerseys walking around.
clevelandcbi I saw that and legit tried to figure out why I already know who that mans was
@@BMBDIME10 I stumbled upon him a few months ago and was pulling for him. Might be the next Cribbs.
clevelandcbi I dunno about Cribbs, he was crazy but I can see him becoming a consistent return man
@@BMBDIME10 I'll take that.
@@clevelandcbi man I hope
Imagine if Manziel had even 10% of this guy's determination, drive and focus.
He’d still be a bust if he had 70%
@LIQUID FX Manziel is a trust fund baby... He's never had to pursue the dream, and football was about the status of it all, not actually becoming a good pro.
@LIQUID FX For real?!
Even 1 %
Manziel has that and then some!
Only he applied it to illicit activities, fake friends and fast azz women!
I thought you knew, Johnny Football is in the “High Times Hall of Fame!”
Damn he really got a 3 year deal worth 1.7 mil where he’ll get 495k for the first year 585k the second and 675k the third. Nike needs to put this man on billboards throughout America, he’s a true role model..
I'm saying
I’m still chasing my dreams cuz of this man he really put AZ on the map fr!!!
He signed a free agent contract, it’s non guaranteed. . The numbers are what they are because of the league minimums, not because of their faith in his ability. If he gets cut in camp he gets nothing. I’m pulling for him, it’s a great story.
Garrett Sondgerath yeah, PR touchdown on his first return and some good catches, he’ll def prob return most of the kickoffs in the actual upcoming season
He's the real life embodiment of JUST DO IT
This dude got denied arena football ball but found a way into an NFL team? Well...........
It’s his lack of full football expirence prolly .
Dumbass arena football team
Well, it WAS the Browns.... ;-)
christosvoskresye in 2019
Y’all do know the Browns are good now right?
I've never heard a story told so well in my life. Let's get this man to a million subscribers asap
Done.
He’s one of those dudes you meet and he tells you some of his story and you’re like “nah, this dude is lying”
He signed a 3 year $1.7M contract with the Browns!!!
Foreal?
@@209alfredo2091 Yea, I just looked it up because I was curious. Thats some dope shit
Holy shit, yes! It may be the Browns, but I think this may the the start of something great!
Holy shit
He’s legit on the team 🤯
He is literally the definition of perseverance and persistence, I hope to see him soon, from a ravens die hard fan
Same here from a man from the Black and Gold Brigade
Ravens baby
If he can play the best football of his life for a month in the preseason I think he will make that 53. I’m Rooting for this dude 🙌🏿🙌🏿 great vid flemlo
Now I have a reason to watch the Browns! 🤣😂👍
Georgia GoldenGloves so if he leads the league in kickoff return yards and tds you still cuttin em?
Georgia GoldenGloves bro just stfu and watch the video. Nobody wants to hear you nit pick
Georgia GoldenGloves honest sport lol. Like how the NFL lied about concussions and how they lied about blackballing Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid
Georgia GoldenGloves people like you are what’s wrong with the world. You sit at home all day wondering how you can be a pessimist
You can't NOT be impressed by this guy's determination and heart.
Dude should study the game and become a coach. I bet he could inspire some young ballers to be great.
Yeah can definitely become annoyed by someone like this. Someone that doesn’t take no for an answer just keep asking, “Please?!”
This is just purely incredible. The perseverance is crazy. Dude gotta get a movie made about him after its all said and done.
Yes indeed. Another invincible
Savage Opress great idea
Yeah Hollywood needs to take these types of true inspiring stories and run with it
That's what I was gonna say, it would be the best football movie dude eats breaths and sleeps football. Whether he was still in the NFL or not still a great story
I will go see that movie.
That boy was doing the Pursuit of Happiness clap when he got signed😂😂
😆😆😆😭
Julius Hare 😂😂😂 he ran outside his house looking around 😂
Lol this man need a movie
Julius Hare Lmfaooooo 💀💀💀
Julius Hare 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude just returned a punt for a td in his first preseason game. Happy for this guy
Aaand he was cut :/
@@Leo-qq4mr yep..he got cut
He didn’t lie his way into the nfl he clawed and fought his way in. Hey was completely dedicated
he lied, he clearly lied, howver he also did everything u mentioned, but dont say he didnt lie lol
Well he literally lied at the door to get into the NFL workout. So yah, he did. Still awesome though.
He Never said anything tho he just walked in
@@aaronhageman9064 It's a decent chunk of the video covering this...not sure how people are missing it.
Video says that he, at the door, falsely stated that he knew Alonzo Highsmith when he didn't, after he studied Alonzo so that he could defend the lie, so that they would physically let him in to do the tryout.
Not sure why people are having trouble understanding that as qualifying the statement "he lied to get in." Like...that's a lie. Pretty simple. We're not judging it. We're just stating the reality: he lied...to get in.
Well he didn’t tell the truth lol
Damon is a great kid, him and his brothers were great multisport athletes and good people In our small town. Dudes funny as hell and a great person, so happy for what he's accomplished!
80sbadassmentally that’s dope to hear. The grind is relentless. Best of luck to this absolute boss.
80sbadassmentally yea lake havasu is literally a kuldesak
80sbadassmentally wish him nothing but the best 🙏 happy for him as well
Dude just got his first return td against the redskins 😎
@@SarahAnnB26 It was so dope!
The minimum annual salary for a rookie active roster player with a one-year contract is $480,000. Practice squad players make a minimum of $7,600 per week. Great story!!!
Mars Hand that’s still like 80k
Mars Hand 90k*
Gabriel Coria Per week not per month
Gabriel Coria that’s more then 360k on average lol
Practice squad players only get paid for the 17 weeks of the season. $7,600 x 17 weeks = $129,200.
Who’s here after he just scored a touchdown
Glitchfire 🙌
So happy! I was hoping he’d do good but he surpassed all expectations... what a good moment!
I am. Dudes story is really something
Glitchfire bro this guy is finna make it all the wayyyy babyyyyy
I really hope he makes the team
That kickoff return for a TD in preseason was the icing, unfortunately, not the cherry on top. Dude gave me chills. Really wish the Browns would've gave Lionheart a roster spot.
In an interview yesterday both Jarvis Landry and OBJ mentioned this man's name as a guy to look out for. We're gonna find out. I can't wait!
Hobo Bob damn that’s wild!
I got him on my fantasy team
thats good to hear if any 👌
Miguel Zavala You’re crazy
Just returned a punt for 86 yard TOUCHDOWN!!!!! Love this dude!!!
Dude, you are a hella story teller. you made that she-it come to life !!!
Hell yea bro I was thinking the same thing...man can write a book the way he tell stories but props to damon man that's a real go getter man he knew he had what it takes and made it happen..so happy for him
Seriously
she-it ? ministroke?
I subscribed just because of his ability to make an interesting story, that much more interesting.
One of the better "unofficial" documentaries on youtube
This man life is really like a 2k story mode, a guy that just joined a team as a walk on and makes it pro
Lmao I literally was thinking about it that before going to the comments and seeing this, I was like "damn... This would make a bad ass career mode story"
That shits awesome bro. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Pleaseeee
Sadly he was cut by the Browns and went to the XFL, got injured, and then now he's recovered and the XFL is like 95% dead now.
He's basically Cosmo Kramer.
its football 2k is basketball lol do your research
This needs to become a movie. This is the coolest story I’ve ever heard
Riiight☺️ this would be a good movie!!!!
💯
Dude just ran an 86 yard punt return for a TD for the Browns. Hahaha
I just saw that
I’m a Steeler fan but mad respect for the man. I think he deserves the chance to be on their roster come time for the season. Would be a damn shame if he doesn’t.
Let’s fuckin go dude
Rob Gonz He’ll be cut because you said he would ? Fuck off
Rob Gonz he just signed a 3 year contract
If he makes the roster someone best be making this into a movie.
Bruh I'm listening to this story like this is a movie!!!
Willie Mays Hays
@@acidfruitloops what?
@@thelonewanderer105 casual.
@@acidfruitloops willie mays? The baseball player.
Even tho this man lied but can’t say how hungry this man was to fulfill his dream at playing in the NFL
When people say "never give up on your dreams" THIS is what they mean. They don't mean never stop sitting around waiting for them to come true.
Shows how far heart can take you, and how coaches can miss that when evaluating an athlete.
Had the opportunity to watch him play multiple times here in Arizona. He’s a phenomenal Athlete. Wish nothing but the best for him. He deserves it.
Got to give him props, dude has major hustle and confidence , hopefully this turns out good for him
His determination is legendary. I personally would of been gave up a long time ago.
best story ever
Would have*
Played at Phoenix college. I remember seeing this dude a workouts. He used to work out my big bro. Great seeing this dude put himself on
University of Phoenix?
Why people make up dumb ass lies like this. I mean really bruh, your life is that sad. This is what your left to do?? LMAO!!!! BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Byrdman 51/50 for real this niggah reslly lyin for no reason
Abycab Ayele shut yo bitch ass up 🤣✌🏾
Bruh u can tell by your grammar, that u have never been to college and are either in middle school or high school I'm guessing
I hope he does well and makes a name for himself in the NFL
Based on this man's insane drive for success... it's a safe bet he will be successful.
He got a 3 year 1.7 mill contract for the Browns starting this season so he probably getting a ring aswell
@@user-hz5zu1rb7o nope he was waived from the Browns
Tomara Smith lol
They should make a Netflix documentary about this man
would be boring tbh
YahBoyChaz I don’t think it would be
DC The Eyepoke Champ facts
Inspirational story. These are the kind of people you root for and aspire to be like. Never quit chasing what you love to do.
How does one lie his way into a professional sport ? 😭
run a 4.38 40 that is a lie you can believe in.
You should check out John Spano. That's how you lie to BUY a professional sports team.
A 4.38 40 makes everything else seem believable.
This way
If you watch the video.... boom! Now you know.
This man Giuseppe showed that he is not a product of his environment but a "product of his initiative".
Way to go and kudos to you for pursuing you passion! Bravo!
whokitkat those kinda go hand in hand.
whokitkat he’s from lake havasu
Never paid him a cent and cut him, even after scoring a td right away.
oof
I think he got 30 grand.
@@ethanfriend6305 a steal compared to what they're paying per td these days
He got paid
2 consecutive fumbles got him cut. And if he got even $20k, he's got no reason to complain. New chance in XFL now.
This guy should be a motivational speaker I had no idea this man existed until today
Dude’s done enough legwork to move into a job as a motivational speaker when he’s done with football.
Also, OF COURSE the Browns would take the guy.
Ray Finkle I know right, the man’s story is about as “Cleveland Brown” as it gets
why wouldn't we? if there is a dude who is THAT determined to play on my Browns. of course I want him here. and he's been balling out in camp, has been there most mornings at 6am to practice, and Baker/Juice/OBJ have been talking about his relentless work ethic.
Craig Zombar that was the point. Sounds like cheap talent to me, and cheap talent is always better than expensive talent on a 53 man roster
You act like the Browns are trash.
Nate Cruz Not at all he’s just sayin of course they’re gonna take him cus of his determination, work ethic, etc.
He’s a bad dude, I would hire this kid in a minute. I don’t care if he didn’t have a clue about my business.
Mike Lliteras EXACTLY. you can teach him what he doesn’t know. He’s got an IRON WILL.
You do yard service. . R you serious. .
And as long as your business was football he'd give it 210%.
Unfortunately I don't think dedication this insane just transfers to hourly jobs though.
respect
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I've been a dolphins fan all my life and I own no other football jerseys from other teams. But if Damon makes the browns I will buy his jersey and frame it.
He already did
U buyin a jersey
If he ends up on the 53 I absolutely will.
@@BottomUpBeats he did he signed mill plus for 3 years
Why?
I saw this video about 4 years ago. I was looking at some of the new FlemLo videos today so I decided to watch this video again. I googled Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi, he still is out there grinding. According to wikipedia, On December 4, 2024, Sheehy-Guiseppi signed with the Arlington Renegades of the United Football League (UFL). I love to see someone fight for their dreams!
This is what you call Dedication!!! A lot of people lack this and this is why people never live their dreams
Fr tho
Halfway through
You'd be Doubting yourself
What if they aint impressed and they say no
Has all his Hard work been for nothing?
All those thoughts came in
Not that simple. You can have dedication and still fail.
Who's here after his 86 yard punt return?
Michael McHale kid can flat out fly. We have so much young talent this year, I dunno if he makes it but I’m pulling for him. Go Browns.
Michael McHale these mf’s calling him a liar and should be jailed. Um last time I checked this is our team and we say what happens. He’s not homeless no more. He talked about how happy he was that the Browns feed him. We’re gonna do one better. He won’t need for nothing no more. Cleveland takes care of their own.
This is a great story. I love these types of “work your ass off” stories. Good for him and I hope he makes it. I’m always rooting for the underdog. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. Great video.
Brent Kappler he made it! 3 years 1.7 mill!
The key to success is to focus on the goal, not the obstacles, rejections or setbacks. When failure is not an option you cannot help but succeed. What an Awesome Example❣
“Lied” is unfair he was just quick with it
bos man that’s facts
bos man he was just persistent
Agreed, he didn't lie. He did his research, also when your applying for a job, you do research on the place before you go.
Insane. I’m never gonna stop. Thanks for the inspo

if the guy makes the roster there's going to be a movie of him almost immediately. what a story!
Bro a movie would actually be great

@@magnumopiss244 ha, I get the reference
“He bet the house the house on it. Did it work? nah. but he tried”
Lmaooooo wtf
What a fantastic young man, i REALLY hope he makes it in the NFL
In fact the NFL actually NEEDS players with this much passion to play
He signed a 3 year 1.7 mil contract with the browns recently. He made it.
I bet you 3-5 years from now, they'll be a movie about this dude!. It would actually make a great movie
This makes me wanna lie my way into becoming CEO of Google or something now
Confidence
Anything is possible after this video dude
Lmaooo

Right
Dang I tried out for MCC’s basketball team with this dude, he is a real cool dude, amazing story
Did you make the roster ?
@@anthonymelendez333 no I didn’t end up the roster unfortunately. Great learning experience and I became a better person and basketball player because of it
Flem-
Just wanted to say..I don't even watch vids like this, but the research and creativity you put into this video is amazing. Great job.
Yoo on the real they need to make a MOVIE about this man, I am so inspired the story left me speechless!
Me too Man...
4 dislikes? Must be Clevelands secondary pissed they gotta go up against this kid eveyday
Odell disliked 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Greedy Williams 🤦🏾♂️🤣
@Georgia GoldenGloves Freddie Kitchens will Appreciate the grind and what the kid went through. That I promise.
Nah it's the other niggas that didn't get invited back, to the browns workouts!! Lmao!!
Someone needs to make a movie about this kids journey. Dam this man is inspiring to never give up.straight determination.
If nothing else this man will end up on the practice squad. I did a paid internship with the Titans (officially defensive quality control if you ever wondered what that term meant) and basically everyone on the practice squad was there because of pure determination. See NFL teams want hard working guys on PS because its kinda like a way of saying to roster guys "look this dude aint making nearly what you are and he's out here busting his ass whats your excuse". Its clear that this guy grinds hard af and trust me coaches notice that. Even if you arent the most skilled guy if you go out there and grind everyday you will get noticed and that really goes for everything but especially in the NFL.
yeah I don't rate his chances at the main roster, but his chances to make the practice squad are pretty good
Thank you for your added insight. I don't trust this guy, but I am rooting for him
What about Malcom Butler. Working at Popeyes, then getting a last ditch chance to work out for the Patriots. Then winning the Superbowl with an interception.
Awesome story...but I like Kurt Warner's story better.
And then getting benched by Belichek and traded away
How do u get a nfl workout invite while working at popeyes?
