Moubarak Djeri's journey

[Ronin]

When Djeri got the contract offer from the Cardinals in March, he said he felt like a weight was lifted off of him. It has been 16 years since he first saw a football game, 11 years since he asked to play in Germany and four years since his brother covered for him as he began playing.

"I was like, 'Damn, I made it.'"

He has a decent chance. Golden Jones and probably Mayowa are locks. 1 spot open?

Stop what? This is a zero risk guy. Didn't cost them a draft pick & won't count against the cap if cut.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The journey from the tiny African nation of Togo to the Cologne Crocodiles of the German Football League to the Arizona Cardinals is a very long one.

Now, still learning English, Moubarak Djeri is trying to navigate the tough and often complicated world of the NFL and prove he belongs.

”This experience is really big,” he said after the Cardinals went through a voluntary workout Thursday. ”That was like a dream for me to be here. Now to see how it’s working, how you’ve got to work hard to make the team and be in the season, it’s a really big experience.”
