Falcons Tweet Revealing Todd Gurley Signing Will Get Georgia Fans Hyped

In a move that truly seemed inevitable after rumors gained steam on Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons announced that they signed star running back Todd Gurley to a one-year, $5 million contract.

To celebrate the big splash, the Falcons fired off an incredible tweet that will get Georgia fans amped. Of course, Gurley was a household name in Athens before he became an NFL superstar.

Not only should this be considered a win for Falcons fans, but Bulldogs buffs and Georgia natives also have every right to be thrilled with the acquisition.

The Falcons, meanwhile, weren't quite finished flexing on Twitter. Shortly after posting the Bulldog gif, Atlanta shared a perfect tweet that featured the implores of fans who were pushing for the franchise to sign the free agent.

It's an extreme rarity that fans pleading for their team to sign a player see happy endings unfold, so the Falcons made sure their supporters knew their voices were heard.

Gurley was released by the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday after several failed attempts to trade the three-time Pro Bowler. Though he comes with great risk, it's not often a player of Gurley's caliber becomes available on the open market during his prime.

This is undoubtedly a popular move from the Falcons, and fans within the state of Georgia will be thrilled the former Bulldog is returning to his old stomping grounds.
