I love a story that involves someone not giving up on their dream. Dujuan Harris was an undrafted rookie this season. He was invited to training camp by the Jaguars but cut. Then the Steelers gave him a chance, but cut him after only 4 days. He is a small running back by any standard. He is only 5’7 and did not get much attention coming out of college. Faced with bills to pay he had to look for a regular job. He began selling cars at a Chrysler dealership in Jacksonville, FL, but he never gave up hope inside himself. A week later the Packers called and signed him to their practice team. Fast forward a few months later and he finds himself as the Packers starting running back. The past 2 games, the last regular season game with the Vikings, and the playoff game last week, also against the Vikings, he made key contributions to his team winning. He had 100 yards total in the playoff game. He is so humble he actually still plans to go back and sell cars during the off season. “I just got off the phone with them,” Harris said. “They just told me they sold 10 cars. That’s live. That is live. Why not be a part of that?” Hopefully with his continued effort, he will be able to land a nice NFL contract and not have to worry about selling cars again.
