FOXBORO, MA (WTXF/FOX SPORTS) - A job in the NFL would be a dream come true for many and one man is actually standing by to make it happen.
Former University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth wide receiver Abiola Aborishade has been standing outside Gillette Stadium in Foxboro for a month, holding a sign as his resume, hoping for a tryout with the New England Patriots.
