Report: Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon draws inspiration from his family

The Atlanta Falcons knew what they were doing when they welcomed back veteran linebacker Sean Weatherspoon. Notwithstanding his shaky injury history, the front office believes he can contribute and a make the LB corps better. I concur with their assessment. But let's be honest, this isn't the Spoon we once knew. (That isn't necessarily a bad thing.)

Spoon had to navigate free agency and found himself with a different franchise in unfamiliar circumstances. I don't imagine that was easy. In fact, I imagine he felt pretty slighted by the team that drafted him. But that's all been set aside now.
