Charlie Woerner was born and raised in Georgia but became a transplant for the first time in his life when the 49ers selected him in the 2020 draft.

Charlie Woerner's story begins in a small mountain town in north Georgia. From playing for Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia to the University of Georgia in Athens, tight end Charlie Woerner's football career not only began but truly took off in Georgia. Then, with a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers made Woerner take his talents cross-country. Woerner saw through his rookie contract in California, ending with a Super Bowl run in the 2023 season. When he became a free agent shortly after, multiple teams showed interest. Woerner ultimately signed a three-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on April 2, 2024. Finally Charlie is back home in Georgia. A Georgia kid through and through, Charlie was finally coming back home.

It's a season of revival for the artist at the heart of Atlanta's defensive line. 

It was a challenge unlike any other the Falcons defensive tackle had faced. He continued to work until he won. 

It should have been a celebration of all he had accomplished and the start of a new journey. Instead, it left him in tears.

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has built a brand for himself at 22 years old that reflects his good-natured character.

In March 2024, we traveled to Austin, Texas, for a feature story on Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. We sat down with his mentors who taught him the power of example at the University of Texas, then stepped into his current season of life as he sets the example through both his NFL career and his business endeavors. Whether you know him as an athlete, influencer, or businessman, at the heart of every facet of Bijan's life is the power of example.

The Atlanta Falcons used the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to select running back Bijan Robinson out of the University of Texas. In his first season, Robinson led all rookies with 976 rushing yards. He also scored a team-high eight touchdowns. Though Robinson's stardom skyrocketed even more with the jump from the NCAA to the NFL, the 22-year-old has remained true to himself as the spotlight grew brighter. Just ask those who know him best. Better yet, learn how Robinson has not abused the power of example. As a person, player and brand, he sets one of the best.
