Nothing in the NFL comes easy. For some players, the journey in professional football is filled with plenty of twists and turns, moments of optimism and adversity.

That perfectly encapsulates what former Florida State running back Jashaun Corbin has been going through over the last few years. Bouncing from the NFL to the UFL, he slowly worked his way back to the highest level of the sport.

Corbin went through training camp with the Atlanta Falcons but he was released ahead of the season. He's stayed on the hunt for another opportunity since then and has found one in early October.

On Tuesday, the New England Patriots announced they were signing Corbin to their practice squad. He joins one of his former Florida State teammates, defensive lineman Joshua Farmer, in New England.

The Patriots recently lost veteran running back Antonio Gibson to a season-ending injury.

Blessed and thankful truly 🙏🏾 https://t.co/UA5sTPyFpK
