Hey Falcoholic’s, it’s me, Evan Birchfield. This new segment appropriately named “Throwback Thursday” will focus weekly on a former Atlanta Falcons’ player and pay respect to what they did for the franchise. Whether you’ve been a fan since the inaugural season, or just became a fan recently, this series will highlight and hopefully give insight on players from the past. Without further ado, let’s get started.

I wanted to kick this new series off with a very underrated player in the history of the Falcons’ franchise, linebacker Jessie “The Hammer” Tuggle.
