Most college football players won't become professional football players. It's a difficult transition, no matter your college pedigree. While many players get a workout and a training camp invite, only the exceptional will find themselves on a 53 man roster or even a practice squad. Donte Rumph is one former college standout that's still struggling to make that jump.
The Falcons originally signed Rumph as a college free agent in May 2014. He's exceptionally quick for his size and Rumph got a lot of face time on HBO's "Hard Knocks" last summer. Defensive line coach Bryan Cox rode him to excess throughout training camp, and eventually, he was cut.
