DT Mbu Impresses in Falcons Debut
After going undrafted and spending most of the season on Atlanta's practice squad, Joey Mbu got called up on Sunday to make his first regular season appearance in the NFL.
Last week, Joey Mbu was in a meeting with his fellow defensive linemen when, out of nowhere, Bryan Cox delivered news the UDFA signing won't soon forget.
Matt Bryant’s injury opened up a roster spot, Cox explained, and Mbu, a practice squad member, should prepare to be called up for Sunday’s game. Naturally, the 22-year-old was excited. So were his teammates in the room—including Ra’Shede Hageman, who joked that Mbu might cry during the national anthem.
