South Carolina football shared Demetrius Knight Jr.'s reaction: "If you watch one 'call' video, watch this one," the caption read. "What a moment."

The year at Charlotte wasn't glamorous, as the DoorDash side hustle would suggest. Providing for his wife and daughter, Kamila, now two years old, was Knight's biggest priority other than his football career. With football responsibilities limiting his availability, DoorDash was the best option for keeping food on the table.

There's a reason linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. was in tears when he got the call from the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night. Back when Knight was playing college football for the Charlotte 49ers, he worked as a food delivery worker to provide extra money for his wife and daughter.
