After all, Pharms Jr. played for five different clubs during his collegiate and professional stints before making his way to the New England Patriots.
He played for Sacramento City College, San Joaquin Delta College, and Friends University, finishing his collegiate career with 14.5 sacks for the Falcons.
After going undrafted, he played for the Champions Indoor Football League’s Wichita Force before being picked up by the USFL’s Pittsburgh Maulers in the 26th round the following year.
Pharms Jr. was forced to wait until 2021 to make his debut because to the widespread impact of Covid-19 on the professional and semi-professional football industry.
He signed with the Wichita Force and had an outstanding debut indoor season. Playing in all 11 games for the Force, Pharms Jr. concluded the year as one of their finest defenders, recording 4.5 sacks (tied for the team lead), 31 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 pass breakup.
Pharms Jr. is still considered a rookie by the NFL despite entering the draft in 2020. Thus, when New England signed him last month, he signed the industry-standard undrafted free agent contract for three years.
Of the overall $2.56 million price tag for this deal, $705,000 is due this year. However, there are no assurances in the deal, and Pharms Jr. will only be paid the $705,000 if he is included on the final 53-man roster.
