Q&A: Atlanta Falcons FB Patrick DiMarco

Ten questions about life off the field with Atlanta Falcons FB Patrick DiMarco, a former South Carolina standout.

Q. You were injured during your third NFL practice with San Diego. What happened?

A. Broke my foot, the Jones fracture. We weren’t in pads yet. It was the lockout year (of 2011). I was in the I formation. I started right to bend back left and cut off the weakside linebacker. And as soon as I put my foot in the ground, I felt a pop.

Q. Did you know it was bad?

A. As an undrafted rookie, I tried to giddy up and get through it.
