New Falcon Michael Huey has been a professional athlete since 2011, and even though he’s yet to earn a steady job in the NFL, the offensive lineman knows a thing or two about winning.
As a member of the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League, Huey has won three consecutive Arena Bowl championships from 2011-14, earning first-team All-Arena honors twice in that space. And while the AFL produces a lot of nontraditional action, playing on a thin, 50-yard field has allowed Huey to develop one of his most important traits.
"Things are actually faster (in the Arena League), believe it or not," Huey told ESPN last August.
