Jelani Irby is a free agent wide receiver who has dreamed of playing in the NFL since he was a kid growing up in Washington, D.C. He’s spent time with the Cincinnati Flex of the Midwest Professional Indoor Football League and played college football at Central State University and Dean College before transferring to Kentucky University. He was unfortunately ruled ineligible due to a discrepancy with his junior college credits and never got to perform on the big stage of the SEC.
Irby emailed Cat Scratch Reader and provided the details of his background for some perspective on his journey to make it on an NFL roster.
