Editor’s Note: Jamel Johnson joined The Falcoholic in early May of 2024. Please give him a warm welcome!
An Atlanta native, Jamel was born and raised on the Southside of Fulton County. Before he could even walk, his mom got them season tickets to Atlanta Falcons games, scoring seats in the 100 section, close to all the action.
As he grew older, he started learning the game, leading to him playing football himself. Playing almost every position except quarterback, Jamel dominated rec ball, and even though he didn’t take snaps under center, he tried his best to mimic the styles of his favorite player: Michael Vick.
