The Browns Receiver Who Slept Outside The Stadium And Conned His Way Into A Tryout Ran A Punt Return For A TD And The Entire Bench Cleared To Celebrate

If two months ago, Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi told you how he planned to secure a spot on the Cleveland Browns roster, you’d urge him to get a mental health evaluation.

The 24-year-old receiver and returner conned the Browns into giving him a tryout by showing up, uninvited, after sleeping outside the facility and pretending to know the team’s personnel man, Alonzo Highsmith. Once given the shot, he showed out in practice, using his 4.3 speed as a weapon against Browns defenders. What makes Sheehy-Guiseppi’s story even more wild is that the dude hasn’t actually played organized football since 2016 at a junior college, with the CFL and Arena League previously saying “no thanks.”

Regardless is Damon has a successful NFL career or not, I guarantee he wouldn’t change a thing after what occurred in his first NFL preseason game.

With 3:15 left in the fourth quarter of the preseason opener versus the Washington Redskins, Sheehy-Guiseppi fielded a punt at his 14-yard-line. In the blink of an eye, he was gonzo.

Mind you, this dude didn’t even earn a scholarship at JUCO Phoenix College.

I can’t remember a time when an entire bench cleared to celebrate a touchdown in preseason…

“I felt all the love,” he said, via Scott Patsko of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I couldn’t breathe under the pile. I was over there gasping for air, but I felt all the love. I saw all of them come running down there (to the end zone) and it was just a blessing.”

To make the story juicier, Sheehy was wearing Odell’s cleats after misplacing the ones he planned to wear.

Via Mike Garafolo:

*Chip Douglas Cable Guy voice* “I love thishhh game.”

I’m not even a Browns fan but this shit just made my entire week.
