It was 1995 and the Atlanta Falcons had just defeated the New York Jets at home with a score of 13-3. After the game, I found myself just outside of the Falcons locker room.
There I was, 13 years old, taking photos with Falcons legend Jessie Tuggle, getting a chance to meet my favorite Falcon at the time, Eric Metcalf, and getting a chance to speak with former Atlanta quarterback Bobby Hebert.
I had received the chance of a lifetime, getting the opportunity to meet players from my favorite team, all thanks to our family friend who played for the Falcons at the time, Rich Miano.
