Jeffrey M'ba: Dream for life

This is a 4-Minute Read

He was born in Africa.Raised in France.And came to America for one reason — football.

“The only reason I’m here in America is to play football. It’s the only reason I came here, and the only reason I’m still here.”

For him, the dream isn’t just about making it to the NFL.It’s about proving something — to himself, to those who doubted, and to the kids who will one day look up and see that it’s possible.

A Dream Bigger Than the Field

Football was the ticket — the bridge between continents, languages, and lives.But the purpose runs deeper.

“I want to play in the NFL. Be a pro brother. I want to walk with a brand and be able to have my own line — to bring my own clothes.”

He’s not just chasing stats; he’s building a legacy — one that fuses sport, style, and self-belief.From practice fields to brand dreams, he’s crafting a future that blends identity and ambition into something his younger self could have never imagined.

Proving Ground

Transferring to SAU for his final year wasn’t a step back — it was strategy.A place to lock in, block out noise, and focus on what matters most.

“I chose to go to SAU for my last year. Two boys. Where the focus. I have a lot of people to prove wrong. I have a lot of things to prove to myself as well — and to show the world who I am.”

Every rep, every game, every early-morning grind carries that same motivation: prove it.Not through words, but through action.

Because dreams aren’t given — they’re earned through the choices no one sees.

The Power of Doing

For him, inspiration isn’t about speeches. It’s about motion.

“To have a big impact in the future of a lot of kids, you have to do it. You have to show them the way.”

He believes that real leadership is lived out — through effort, through presence, through the courage to go first.And as someone who’s crossed borders and barriers, he knows that the most powerful message he can give isn’t what he says — it’s what he does.

Freedom: The Heart of the Dream

At its core, his dream is about freedom — the ability to live life on his own terms, to express himself fully, and to inspire others to do the same.

“My dream is to be able to be free — to be whatever I want to be. That’s my dream.”

That freedom is what fuels his drive on the field and his vision beyond it.He’s not just chasing the NFL.He’s chasing the version of himself that can stand tall, look back, and say — I did it my way.

From Africa to France to America, every step has led here — to a man still running, still believing, still free.
