Newly signed Atlanta Falcons LB wastes no time referencing ’28-3′

There are certain things that should be left unsaid when joining the Atlanta Falcons, the first of which is referencing ’28-3.’ But that is exactly what a newly signed linebacker for the Falcons did right off the bat.

In a video posted by him announcing his signing, he mentions that fateful day in February of 2017. Not exactly the best idea to introduce yourself to the fans but it also wasn’t referenced out of spite or humor, but rather hope.

Atlanta Falcons’ new LB Will Compton comes right out and says “28-3”

The Atlanta Falcons have been going through their fair share of injuries right now, so we all could expect some roster moves. One of those moves has been the signing of veteran linebacker Will Compton.

Will Compton did not exactly have a traditional announcement that he was signing with the Falcons as he took to Twitter to post a minute-and-a-half video hyping everyone up. However, he made reference to the 28-3 lead in Super Bowl LI (*NSFW Warning*):

He seems like quite the personality and he should pair well with the other entertaining players on the team like Cordarrelle Patterson and Frank Darby.

Compton also is a co-host of the podcast “Bussin’ with the Boys.” The other host is current, although injured, Tennessee Titans offensive tackle, Taylor Lewan. Their bio on Twitter says that they are the “1st active-NFL player show created/owned by NFL athletes.” That is certainly a special thing to be able to say.

Anyways, he may have referenced a dark day in Atlanta Falcons’ history but he used it as a motivation factor to help this team get back to the big game. It will be an extremely tough climb for them to even make the playoffs but, hopefully, the newest Atlanta Falcon knows something we don’t about the Falcons’ Super Bowl chances.
