Rasheed Bailey Returns to His College Where NFL Dreams Began – Meet DelVal’s Next Stars

This is my underdog story. My return to Delaware Valley University Football where my NFL dream became a reality. This is pure college football motivation for anyone chasing a dream from a D3 school.

This isn't just a nostalgic trip. We walk the same field where I started on the JV team, feeling overlooked but hungry (4:08), and relive the pivotal conversation that changed my entire career (13:17). It's a raw, unfiltered dive into the grit and determination it takes to make it when no one is watching.

But the legacy continues. We go "On the Road" to the annual Green & Gold scrimmage to meet the next generation of DelVal Football. I sit down for exclusive interviews with the team's top players—from a D1 transfer to a senior lineman coming back from a devastating injury—as they share their powerful "Keep Going" stories. We cap it all off with an in-depth interview with the man leading the charge, Head Coach Duke Greco, who reveals his philosophy on protecting the standard and building a championship culture.
If you've ever felt like your starting point wasn't enough, this episode is your proof that anything is possible.
