Former Gophers standout Ra'Shede Hageman thriving in Atlanta
Ra'Shede Hageman was in his comfort zone as the Falcons' run-stopping defensive tackle prepared to face the Vikings and the NFL's leading rusher, Adrian Peterson.
His parents led a contingent of about 10 friends and relatives from his hometown of Minneapolis to Atlanta this weekend. They were grocery shopping Wednesday for a Thanksgiving feast at Hageman's house when he concluded the week's first practice.
"It should be a lot of fun; I just hope I don't have to clean up too much," Hageman said.
Stuffing a turkey is messy. Stuffing the run has proven tidy this season for Hageman and the Falcons.
