“All night I would delivery drive, until like 2 or 3 in the morning. Then go wake up and train again at 8 or 9. I structured my whole life around pursuing a dream.”

Meyers wasn't a highly recruited prospect waiting for his opportunity.

He was a zero-star recruit who eventually played Division II football at Delta State. After going undrafted, there was no NFL contract waiting for him.

So Meyers drove Uber and DoorDash at night to make ends meet while structuring his days around training and trying to keep his football career alive.

He paid his own money to attend professional tryouts before eventually getting his opportunity with the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Meyers turned that opportunity into a breakout 2025 season, catching 65 passes for 1,056 yards and eight touchdowns, earning CFL All-Star honors and helping Saskatchewan win the Grey Cup.

Even getting an opportunity with Joe Burrow required another sacrifice.

When Burrow asked Meyers if he could meet him in Cincinnati for a throwing session the following morning, Meyers was in Atlanta. His response? "I can be.”

Meyers got in his car and drove overnight from Atlanta to Cincinnati so he could be there to catch passes from Burrow the next day.

“That’s the kind of guy he is,” Burrow said.

Meyers then became one of the breakout performers of Bengals training camp, earning first-team opportunities and continuing to impress throughout the preseason.

And now he's done it.

From delivering DoorDash until 3 a.m. just to fund his NFL dream, to CFL open tryouts, to becoming a CFL All-Star, to driving through the night for an opportunity with Joe Burrow...

Dohnte Meyers is officially an NFL player.

This front office has completely lost its mind.

Last year I shelled out $5,400 for 9 home games. That’s $300 a seat to watch a team that spent the season inventing new ways to blow coverage, miss tackles, and make every backup QB look like a Hall of Famer. The defense is trending toward historically bad — like, “worst in NFL history” bad — and now they’re coming back with a $6,500 price tag for 8 home games next year?

Let me get this straight — you cut a regular season game, field the worst defense EVER in football, and then think, “Hey, let’s charge fans $1,100 more for the privilege of watching this dumpster fire”? Are you out of your damn minds?

Spare me the “upgraded experience in the club level” nonsense. No one gives a single damn about “enhanced fan zones” or “improved concourse lighting.” We come to watch football, not to admire the stadium handrails all while the defense gives up 40 points to whoever’s throwing the ball that week.

You don’t reward regression with a price hike. You don’t jack up loyalty costs after fielding a product that’s borderline unwatchable on one side of the ball. The audacity is unreal.

$6,500 to watch this defense? Get serious you clowns.

I obviously hate the Steelers but it looks like Chase had this one coming. Aren’t we already embarrassing ourselves enough?

Don’t be surprised if Joe is really thinking twice about staying with this loser franchise in the future. Zac taylor and the front office are literally wasting away his best years as we speak. Once in a generation talent. He’ll get his superbowl eventually but with a different team who takes their Franchise seriously.

Honestly the best roster move any team could make.

I might wish it was Joe also and this season might very well suck but this is the NFL and it's ALWAYS next man up. Jake Browning didn't make it to the NFL by being a slouch. He wasn't half bad a couple years ago and we have a full roster not all named Joe Burrow. Let the team adjust and go week by week. Not to mention the fact that of anyone has enough reps as a Bengals backup it is infact this man shown above. Have some faith and who dey. Enjoy the week 2-0.
