Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi (born February 15, 1995) is an American football wide receiver and kick returner. He played college football at Phoenix College.
Early life
After growing up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona and attending Lake Havasu High School for two years, Sheehy-Guiseppi moved to Traverse City, Michigan and attended St. Francis High School.
College career
Sheehy-Guiseppi first attended Mesa Community College, where he ran track, before transferring to Phoenix College and joining the football team. There, Sheehy-Guiseppi was named a first-team NJCAA All-American in 2016, after leading the nation in kick return yardage and touchdowns.
Professional career
Cleveland Browns
After being out of football for two years and not having played since 2016, Sheehy-Guiseppi was jobless and homeless, sleeping outside of a gym in Miami, Florida. After receiving a tip from a former flag football teammate regarding the location of the Cleveland Browns spring practice, he decided to take his chances to tryout for the team, despite not receiving an invitation. By Sheehy-Guiseppi's own admission, he was only allowed at the workout by claiming to know Cleveland Browns Vice President of Player Personnel, Alonzo Highsmith, and he impressed Highsmith enough to be invited to another tryout for the Browns a week later. The Browns officially signed him on April 5, 2019. During the team's OTAs, he competed for the kick returner position with Antonio Callaway, Dontrell Hilliard and D'Ernest Johnson.
In Cleveland's first preseason game of the 2019 NFL season against the Washington Redskins, Sheehy-Guiseppi returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown. On August 31, he was waived by the Browns.
