hjerry Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 OK, so apparently the Falcons had none other than Jessie Tuggle himself to read off his son's name as the pick yesterday.vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 · May 2Jarrett said his father Jessie Tuggle read his name off the card at the Falcons draft party at College Football Hall of Fame.Unfortunately, stupid NFL network, not recognnizing how awesome it would be to have an actual former NFL player read off the name of his newly drafted son, didn't show it. Does anyone have the video anywhere? I'd really love to see this. If not, can anyone pm or tweet Jay Adams and see if we can't get it uploaded to the site?

hjerry Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 His dad's a woman?!I'm guessing that she's another season ticket holder and that Tuggle introduced her. It's a shame that we don't have the whole video. I really wanted to hear him speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Seeing him celebrate was still great.Agreed. I still really wish that the Falcons could provide the entire clip though, from start to finish, and minus the analysts. That was a really important moment in Falcons history, and I really believe that it needs to be recorded for posterity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLFalcons11 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I was so pissed that out of all the random stats that ESPN and NFL Network throws out that this wasn't mentioned or caught. AND these jerks didn't show it made it worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've watched the whole section via game pass..Everything seemed bit awkward as the Hammer got a little emotional (gave the pick away) right before he turned it over to the girl but it was really an awesome moment in the history of this franchise - legendary Falcon will have his son wearing the same colors.Not sure about you guys but [DQ] I'm really fired up about this draft class [/DQ].

falcon82111 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) The Hammer is and always will be one of the best if not the best inside linebacker in falcons history as far as i care. Boy do i miss them pops he use to dish out. Tuggle played with so much heart Edited May 3, 2015 by falcon82111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't think they realize how important and beloved Jessie Tuggle is to lifelong Atlanta fans. The man is an icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuskillzz Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The NFL network seems to hate the Hammer. They didnt show him the year he was the alumni announcing the pick either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfansince66 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The NFL Network AND ESPN both hate the Falcons. So did ABC for so many years. Anyone ever wonder why Tommy Nobis isn't in the HOF? Wonder why Nobis doesn't own the 'official' record for tackles in his rookie season with almost 300 (and that was in 14 game seasons).. This is just one of the reasons I wished we could get out and win several Super Bowls. Just so that we can shove it right back to those NFC East butt kissers...
