From playing for Rabun County High School in Tiger 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.

He was homegrown. He felt homesick. Now, he is home.
