FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – It might seem crazy to think the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, would have any connection to the Atlanta Falcons, but the two are linked.
Elana Meyers Taylor, a driver for the Olympic bobsled team, is the daughter of former Falcons running back Eddie Meyers.

If Meyers’ name doesn’t sound familiar to Falcons fans, it’s because he never actually appeared in a meaningful NFL game. A star runner for Navy in the 1980s, Meyers had to spend his first six years after college serving in the military.
