Reaves broke down as Rivera told him about making the Pro Bowl roster. But, it wasn’t just the happiness of being selected that caused him to react emotionally. His climb to the top has not been an easy one. After being unselected in the 2018 NFL draft, Reaves was an Eagle for a brief period. He then made his way to the Commanders’ practice squad. From 2018 to 2021, Reaves was cut from Washington’s final roster. This season Rivera made his debut in the Commanders’ main roster and proceeded to lead the league in special team snaps and tackles. Apart from that, the safety lost his mother last year. The tears in his eyes were a testament to the years he’s spent on the sidelines.

Fans react to the Commanders’ video and shed a few tears of their own

Reaves’ battle to the top has been nothing short of inspirational. Reactions to the video poured in on all social media platforms. Fans online showed their support through their comments on Instagram.

This user thinks Reaves had something to prove after years of being away from the action, “That boy had something to prove to dem ppl.”

Another fan left an insightful remark, “Delayed, not denied.”

This fan said, “I’m not crying!! You’re crying! Congrats good sir. All well deserved. HITCH!!”

One user remarked on Reaves’ initial reaction to having a private conversation with Rivera in the video, “He probably thought he was gonna get cut again in that video”

This fan accused the Commanders saying, “Y’all cut him 4 times and acting proud now.”

Another fan may be in denial of the emotions that are being felt, “Damn I got something in my eye.”

Regardless of their allegiances, for the duration of the video, the NFL world became Commanders fans because of Jeremy Reaves. They will look forward to seeing him shine in the Pro Bowl and the games to come.
