The Falcons were honored by the Georgia Legislature on Friday through a senate resolution presented by Senator Jeff Mullis and a recognition by the House of Representatives presented by House Speaker David Ralston.
Falcons owner and chairman Arthur Blank was on hand to accept the honor and thanked both the Senate and the House of Representatives for their continued support of the Falcons.
Additionally, team president & CEO Rich McKay and players Jonathan Babineaux, Kevin Cone, Peter Konz and Jonathan Massaquoi attended the recognition. The group also took time to sign autographs and take photographs with members of the Senate and House of Representatives.
