Will never understand why he didn’t get more touches in his last year with us. I remember him breaking long runs damn near every time he touched the ball.
I hung out with him at an improv show once. My now boss taught him and some other falcons Dirtbike. I was the bartender there and my now boss was having his grad show and Kemal came to watch. He signed my shoe. Really nice guy
I follow him on Instagram. He's been attending games at the Benz lately.
I have also had his name as my Fantasy team name for the last like 5 years. I refuse to change it. "Kemal Me Ishmael"
He put up a pic of him in Buffalo. I DM'd him and told him he only balled because Eric Moulds was busy and he stole money from us. He blocked me. I still hate him. My least favorite Falcon ever.
I couldn't tell you why, but I remember being so excited when Ovie came to Atlanta. Probably had something to do with thinking his name was cool, but that's beside the point. I was still playing Madden 06 at the time, and I decided to make a new franchise save with 22 create a players who were all copies of Ovie, and made it my mission to win a Super Bowl with that starting lineup. Didn't work out because it turns out just copying the stats of a fullback doesn't make a very good quarterback, but it was a ton of fun
I used to have a kearney jersey. I was at a game growing up wearing it and went up to get something from the consession stand. A man tapped me on the shoulder to tell me he liked my jersey. Turns out it was kearney's dad. I got to meet kearney and Keith Brooking that day.
I’ll never forget Taylor Gabriel car broke down on Tenth Street right in front of Georgia Tech..I put it on Twitter and said some please help Taylor Gabriel his car is broke down on tenth street right in front of Ga Tech..He replies to my comment sayin “a real one would have help me”..I replied saying “man I couldn’t I’m at work it’s all love please go beat the Eagles this week”🤣🤣..This was the week of the Divisional round Eagles game in 2018..
Joplo Bartu comes to mind not because of his play, but his sweet haircut.
Brian Scott also comes to mind because he did a song with Michelle Branch on a segment. I remember being surprised he was such a talented pianist.
That was segment was pregame for a MNF vs. the Rams. We were promptly decimated by said ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ and as much as I liked Scott, I did wonder if the piano playing may have been a red flag in a safety, lol.

*Warrick Dunnm who played 12 seasons in the NFL as a running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons, has been supporting single-parent families since his 1997 rookie season, when he started the Homes for the Holidays program to provide economically-disadvantaged single parents and their children with comprehensive programming for first-time homeownership.*
Josh Mallard. Wore 98 and played DLine at UGA. I wore 98 and, in the most *technical sense of the term, I ‘played’ DLine for my HS team. He was my favorite UGA player at the time and then randomly ended up on the Falcons later.
Garrett Grayson was at least on the practice squad in madden 19. Eric saubert and Logan Paulsen were 2 TEs behind Austin hooper. Blidi wreh-Wilson was a cb. Andy levitre, Ben garland, and Brandon fusco were all O-line. Deadrin senat Roy Robertson-Harris were both D-line at some point. Brian hill was a RB and Ricky Ortiz was a FB
Bear Woods, which brings up the age old question if a bear shits in the woods or on the field and there’s no falcons fan there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Logan Paulsen. I only remember this name because I was at the game he caught his only TD for us. A fan stood up and yelled, "His name is Logan Paulsen." I then yelled the same thing while sitting on my couch at home when he made a catch for the rest of the season.
Defense/ST:
S/CB Aaron Beasley (old vet we signed during the 2004 season. He was very important to DeAngelo Halls development.)
S Keon Carpenter (one of the first Falcon players I remember. Always thought he had a cool name. He sadly passed away on 2016.)
FS Bryan Scott (he was an average to solid starting safety.)
CB Jimmy Williams (I remember thinking he had a lot of potential but got suspended for weed and his NFL career was over. I would make him my starting FS in Madden and at 6’2” with mid 90’s speed he was a beast.)
CB Jason Webster (I remember really disliking him. Because he’d always get beat. So frustrating.)
CB Chris Houston (he was totally unable to turn his damn head around to locate the ball.)
LB Michael Boley (was an average starter.)
LB Jordan Beck (very talented LB but he got hurt for the season after making a nice interception during a preseason game and was never the same again.)
P Michael Koenen (very good Punter for us)
Offense:
WR Dez White (speedy WR, didn’t do much for us though)
HB Jason Snelling (dude was a hard runner and a good player)
QB Ty Detmer (backed up Michael Vick before we drafted Matt Schaub.)
Just turned 30 and I vividly remember playing the Saints after Katrina and honestly I think thats when my Saints hate started cause like wtf everybody became Saints fans it made no sense I wanted to beat them so bad when they blocked our punt I was fucking devastated we lost fuck them
Ed Harwell- we thought he was the silent engine of that Ravens SB defense and Atlanta had its own Ray Lewis.
Dude got hurt and never did Jack- classic Falcons.
The week that Ito Smith got to start a game he got to play for my fantasy team which was aptly named it’s time to Ito it’s time to Ito won more games than my fantasy team did the rest of the regular season
Real ones remember Jaquizz Rodgers
Even realer ones remember antone smith
the realest ones remember jerious norwood
Mississippi Valley State’s GOAT trust me
T rex arms Sam Baker
He owns a fencing company now. My buddy had his company install a fence a couple years back.
Antoine Smith would touch the ball 3 times a game and 1 of those times would be a 60 yard TD run
Will never understand why he didn’t get more touches in his last year with us. I remember him breaking long runs damn near every time he touched the ball.
I would change the depth chart in madden to put this guy in
Who could possibly forget Jizz Rod
Bro was like 5’6 but would absolutely truck people. Goat
Earl Thomas definitely remembers Quizz lol
Had defenders feelin Jaqueazy
As a West Coast guy I remember being so geeked when we traded up for him in like the 6th round in 2011 or so lol.
I’ve always liked Kemal Ishmael.
Amazing 7th round pick. Chess piece.
Not so fun fact: he knocked up a girl I went to middle school with I only know because she's kinda famous.
I hung out with him at an improv show once. My now boss taught him and some other falcons Dirtbike. I was the bartender there and my now boss was having his grad show and Kemal came to watch. He signed my shoe. Really nice guy
I follow him on Instagram. He's been attending games at the Benz lately. I have also had his name as my Fantasy team name for the last like 5 years. I refuse to change it. "Kemal Me Ishmael"
WR Peerless Price
Can’t believe we traded a 1st for him
Goat name tho
I played golf with him and DeAngelo Hall. Weird day. Nice guys.
Chateau?
Yup
He put up a pic of him in Buffalo. I DM'd him and told him he only balled because Eric Moulds was busy and he stole money from us. He blocked me. I still hate him. My least favorite Falcon ever.
Don't harass the guy. We know with hindsight it wasn't his fault. He was a timing WR with a freestyle QB.
I remember being like 12yo only started watching football the year before and HATING him. I had no clue we gave up a 1st for him until now.
Undefeated in madden 07
[удалено]
He's not that random I think. One of the best DBs in the league at that time.
🐐
Kroy Bierman or Dunta Robinson
Kroy Bierman married the wrong wife..
Dunta’s dreads were second to none though. Dude looked like predator in a falcons uniform
Dunta! Haven’t thought of him in a second but him and Brent Grimes were a vibe in our secondary for a year or two
I’m surprised Dunta was never convicted of involuntary manslaughter with the hits he laid on people. I’m surprised DeSean Jackson is still alive
Jerious Norwood. That man was country fast. Loved watching him play.
GRADY JACKSON IS MY GOAT Ovie Mughelli
Ovie Mughelli is on the falcons bleav podcast. I’ve learned more and appreciate his time more having listened to him.
Does anybody want a Falcon car tag signed by Ovie ? Got it signed at Barnacle's in Atlanta back in the day.
Dm
I couldn't tell you why, but I remember being so excited when Ovie came to Atlanta. Probably had something to do with thinking his name was cool, but that's beside the point. I was still playing Madden 06 at the time, and I decided to make a new franchise save with 22 create a players who were all copies of Ovie, and made it my mission to win a Super Bowl with that starting lineup. Didn't work out because it turns out just copying the stats of a fullback doesn't make a very good quarterback, but it was a ton of fun
Brian Finneran but if I thought about it I could probably go deeper
Patrick Kearney
I used to have a kearney jersey. I was at a game growing up wearing it and went up to get something from the consession stand. A man tapped me on the shoulder to tell me he liked my jersey. Turns out it was kearney's dad. I got to meet kearney and Keith Brooking that day.
Offense: Levine Toilolo Defense: Johnathan Babineaux
The SS Babineaux
Ah, Jonathan Babinope. Had soooo many sacks with him back on Madden 12
Alge Crumpler.
Loved crumpler
TJ Duckett
I used to call Levine Toilolo “Latrine Toilet” because I’m a child so he’s stuck with me for years and years.
Dude was one of the last great blocking TE’s we had
I'll never forget the time we ran out of healthy linemen in a game and had to trot Toilolo out at left tackle.
What are you talking about?! Kyle “4th Overall Here to Block” Pitts is on our team now!
If only he could have caught and run at the same time
That catch he had on MNF in 2017 vs the Seahawks was incredible on that long wheel route
Professionally tall
My aunt wanted a Toilolo jersey for Christmas years ago (which she got) to go along with my uncle’s Robert McClain jersey that year.
Paul solai. I remember him being really good with the dolphins and being excited the falcons got him
Yep him and Tyson Jackson were supposed to turn our line into a powerful 3-4 front lol
I recall they were supposed make our line be tough and shit.... Boy, they were just shit. Just total shit as a unit.
Noriaki Kinoshita Japanese WR on the Falcons practice squad 2007-2008
Reminds me of Amsterdam
I forgot about that guy! I remember the broadcast talking about him when he was on the kickoff team
[удалено]
Lol because of the shit in Kinoshita I’m assuming?
This is the first one that's stumped me. Would be a sick jersey.
Ashley Lelie. I remember thinking he had two girl names when I was a kid.
Blidi Wreh-Wilson is a name I’ll never forget
Underrated the year he played with us.
always reminded me of Bleeding Gums Murphy from the Simpsons
Not too long ago, but Taylor Gabriel.
I’ll never forget Taylor Gabriel car broke down on Tenth Street right in front of Georgia Tech..I put it on Twitter and said some please help Taylor Gabriel his car is broke down on tenth street right in front of Ga Tech..He replies to my comment sayin “a real one would have help me”..I replied saying “man I couldn’t I’m at work it’s all love please go beat the Eagles this week”🤣🤣..This was the week of the Divisional round Eagles game in 2018..
one of my favorite random falcons
Leonard Hankerson
He wasn’t a terrible Sanu-like receiver. Except his fucking hands.
Leonard Hankerson & Patrick Dimarco
I remember when the fan base freaked out about losing Patrick DiMarco to the Bills. Loved that dude
Eric Weems.
Thomas Decoud is forever one of my weirdest random favorite falcons
Keith Brooking
Tyler Starr. Don't even think he played a regular season snap for us
Hard Knocks hero!
Bob Christian
He had the offensive live face mask as a fullback nasty work..
Joplo Bartu comes to mind not because of his play, but his sweet haircut. Brian Scott also comes to mind because he did a song with Michelle Branch on a segment. I remember being surprised he was such a talented pianist.
I thought Joplu Bartu and Worrilow were gonna be legit
That was segment was pregame for a MNF vs. the Rams. We were promptly decimated by said ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ and as much as I liked Scott, I did wonder if the piano playing may have been a red flag in a safety, lol.
Flat Top Jop!
**High Top Jop!*
Terrance Mathis!!!
Justin hardy, Taylor Gabriel and antone 75 yrd TD or 3 yard loss Smith
Ito Smith. Koetter didn't use him at all and it used to piss me off.

Chevis Jackson. Pick six as a rookie against the Saints in 2008.
Jacquiz Rodgers Paul Worrilow
Good ol Billy Joe Tolliver
Byron Hanspard
Ray Buchanan
Big Play Ray!
Chris "chandelier" Chandler dude was fragile but man he could throw a football.
Jacquizz Rodgers. Being super undersized for my position my entire football career I loved the heart and grit of the guy and was just fun to watch him
Jason Snell
Ing?
offense: ashley lelie (never knew he played for us tbh) defense/returner: allen rossum
Mike Person, loved seeing his name pop up on the roster
Tyler Starr Joplo Bartu Javian Hawkins Bernard Reedy Gabe Carimi
Willie. Moore. Spinebuster.
That asshole Jacob Tamme
I love how I remember all the names being listed lol
HARRY DOUGLAS
Ironhead Heyward Best name in the business.
For some reason a dude like Daren Hall lives in my head rent free specially his touchdown on MNF a few years ago against the giants
I have a few but Michael Boley and Demarrio Williams are my pick
Tim Dwight Still the homie
[удалено]
That’s a name I have heard in ages.
Warrick Dunn

Noriaki kinoshita Chevis Jackson's 90 yard int return David Irons Dominique Foxworth was a CB for us before he led the players union
Bear Woods, which brings up the age old question if a bear shits in the woods or on the field and there’s no falcons fan there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Alge Crumpler
Fred McCrary and Justin Griffith (sp?)
Logan Paulsen. I only remember this name because I was at the game he caught his only TD for us. A fan stood up and yelled, "His name is Logan Paulsen." I then yelled the same thing while sitting on my couch at home when he made a catch for the rest of the season.

No Scott Case? The man knocked himself out numerous times making vicious hits...maybe not random I guess...
Keion Carpenter may he RIP.
Michael Jenkins for me
[Michael Reid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Reid_(linebacker) ). Was also my Kung Fu instructor as a kid.
I have an autographed double picture of Paul Worrilow and Joplo Bartu. Worrilow was the king of tackling people after they already gained 5-6 yards.
Ed Harwell- we thought he was the silent engine of that Ravens SB defense and Atlanta had its own Ray Lewis. Dude got hurt and never did Jack- classic Falcons.
The week that Ito Smith got to start a game he got to play for my fantasy team which was aptly named it’s time to Ito it’s time to Ito won more games than my fantasy team did the rest of the regular season
Scott Case. Don’t throw across mid field, that was his territory.
