Entering the NFL as an undrafted player out of South Carolina in 2011, the 31-year-old certainly did overcome some long odds.
As of now, the final team DiMarco will have played for in the NFL will be the Bills. In September, he was released by the Bills via an injury settlement after being placed on injured reserve because of a neck issue.
After a single season with the Kansas City Chiefs, DiMarco became a staple with the Atlanta Falcons. He was selected to the Pro Bowl with them in 2015.
While with the Bills, DiMarco was more known as a locker room leader for Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott. DiMarco also was a staple on special teams.
