VIDEO: Rasheed Bailey looks to NFL
There are hundreds of stories of athletes from small schools trying to live a dream.

Last month, we called Roxborough native Rasheed Bailey one of the best collegiate receivers you've probably never heard of.

That could be about to change.

Bailey, a Division III wide receiver from Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa. signed a free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, Action News has learned.

Bailey had the most touchdowns and receiving yards in all Division III football last season.

The Eagles scouted Bailey during his senior at DelVal, when he scored 19 touchdowns, and Chip Kelly invited him for a workout just last month.

"To work out with a team that you grew up watching, walking in that hallway, you're like 'I'm here.' But you still got to do more. I feel I still have a lot left to prove," Bailey said back in April.

Bailey was also featured in Sports Illustrated.
