Devonta Freeman’s love for football began at 3 or 4 years old when his mother gifted him his first football. It ignited a passion that fueled his relentless pursuit of excellence on and off the field. From humble beginnings in Miami, Florida, Freeman played for the Moore Park Generals starting in fifth grade, and from then on, he decided to dedicate himself to football and his academic studies. Freeman’s hard work and commitment led him to FSU, where he received a scholarship under Coach Jimbo Fisher. At FSU, he helped lead the Seminoles to a national championship during his junior season. After declaring for the NFL Draft, Freeman was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round. Freeman is grateful for the opportunities he has had to play for teams including the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens. Each step of the way reinforced his belief in determination, resilience and the drive to succeed against all odds. While Freeman’s football career has brought him joy, his heart has always been drawn to giving back to the community. Supporting those in need and uplifting others has been a top priority, and he strives to make a positive impact wherever he can. Freeman looks forward to continuing to inspire and support others in our community.
