Former Falcons returner Brandon Powell prepares for Super Bowl, cites Ricardo Allen and Julio Jones as influences

The Atlanta Falcons aren’t in the Super Bowl this year, but a few former players are. Return man Brandon Powell was with the Falcons in 2020, when he recorded 14 total special teams returns for a combined 341 yards.

On Nov. 4, 2021, Powell signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Against the Minnesota Vikings, Powell returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown that was key in the Rams’ victory, ensuring a playoff berth for the team, and he was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Now Powell prepares this week to face the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl.
