On the onset, it is easy to dismiss just how good Roddy White actually was during his NFL career. Playing for a franchise like the Falcons, he was an afterthought for most fans and NFL media. Initially, some of you may take that as a slight to Atlanta and it is, but not for the reasons you may think.
We have all heard a million times how bad a sports town Atlanta is, which is ridiculous. However, that notion keeps our sports franchises and our elite players from getting the recognition they have earned. Roddy White and Matt Ryan are living tangible proof.
