The Black Mamba as he would be known as died tragically Sunday along with his daughter and seven others. And the Atlanta Falcons, from players to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, paid their respects.
A father. A husband. A legend.
His time was too brief, but his legacy everlasting. RIP Kobe.

Calvin Ridley, Deion Jones, and Grady Jarrett were just some of the players to weigh in on Twitter as the news, both saddening and surreal, began to settle in.
