When you mention Roddy White to a Falcons fan, their face usually lights up. They remember him for being loyal to fault, infamously displaying “Free Mike Vick” on his shirt under his jersey after catching a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on the same day that Michael Vick was sentenced for dogfighting charges. They remember him for being confident and proud in all situations, iconically jawing at Richard Sherman after a 47-yard touchdown catch in the NFC Divisional playoffs. They remember him for being a restless kid that just wanted to play football for his city, and having his restless soul tamed by the great Joe Horn.
