During the first Atlanta Falcons preseason game, there were a few players who really stood out, one of them being Jaylinn Hawkins.

Hawkins flew around the field and showed why he should be in line for more snaps on defense going into his sophomore year with the Falcons.

However, among all the good he did, there was also one mistake that almost resulted in an embarrassing result for him and the team.

The play in question came when the Atlanta Falcons were trying to halt the Titans’ offense right before the end of the half, and Jaylinn Hawkins blitzed up the middle resulting in a sack and an excessive celebration.
