Andrew Hawkins wasn't supposed to make the NFL. When he played his final game at the University of Toledo, he was 5'6" and 160 lbs. Not even his coaches thought he had a chance in the pros. But Andrew disagreed. And over the course of several years, he did everything he could — trying out for a reality show, sleeping on couches, even creating a fake identity — to make his dream a reality. Last season, he led the Browns in receptions. “I’m one in a million. At 5’6”, I’m probably more like one in 20 million. ... But I was also desperate. And I wanted to make sure I gave myself every opportunity to make it.” Thanks for listening! Don't forget to subscribe in iTunes!
