The Atlanta Falcons are getting back to tackling and one notable player getting in on tackles is Ricardo Allen.
Allen has come a long way from a very public firing on Hard Knocks back in 2014. Since then, he became one of the league’s best young safeties and has excelled with the Falcons both on and off the field. His September Achille’s tear was a huge blow to the defense. Also concerning was his rehab: Achille’s injuries can end careers, and typically have a much longer healing time that put his training camp and even preseason availability in doubt.
