The route to the NFL is hard for everyone who tries. But for former University of Houston star Nathaniel ‘Tank’ Dell, it took a long and winding route full of determination to get himself to where he feels he belongs.
As a senior from Mainland High School, the offers that Dell received just did not work out.
Overlooked because of his smaller stature — standing at five feet, 10 inches and weighing under 170 lbs. — Dell decided to go to Alabama A&M for a season, where he had 12 catches for 364 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a 204-yard performance against Alabama State.
