The Falcons have, at times, been accused of lacking leadership in the locker room and competitive fire across their football team. I’ve always thought those criticisms were a little bit unfair—it’s hard to know what’s happening on the field and behind closed doors—but that criticism was only going to grow when the team went 7-9 two seasons in a row and had relatively quiet, laid back guys like Desmond Trufant and Vic Beasley dotting the roster. Again, fair or no, they had a reputation.
Enter Marlon Davidson, who has an electric personality and the kind of desire to be great that can’t help but be inspiring.
