Monday, the Atlanta Falcons chose to extend starting free safety Ricardo Allen with a three-year deal, putting him with the organization through 2021.
It was a vital move to retain who many feel is the quarterback of the defense, one of the best at his position and a locker room spark plug that leads, teaches and inspires in equal measure.
But, before we talk about how important Allen is to the Falcons, I’d like to talk about his balls.
Well, not those kind of balls. We’ll get to them in due time.
