It's Now or Never: Pro Workouts
If I am going to make a team before training camp starts, now is the time to make my move; I have a workout with the Atlanta Falcons this week. It is earlier than expected and puts a lot of pressure on me to perform, but if you know me, then you know that I thrive under pressure, and am looking forward to the challenge.
Playing for the Falcons would be crazy since my dad was drafted by the Falcons over 40 years ago.
I would also like to thank everyone who posted encouraging comments under my first entry. I really enjoy reading about what you all think and it feels good to know I have your support. If you have any questions that I don't answer in my post, you can ask about anything in the comments section and I will try to answer as many as I can. Thanks again!
On a personal note: Pancake Puffs are awesome!

Pancake puffs? Got me on that one. Could it possibly be something like hushpuppies made from pancake batter? Please let us know.

I asked my 5 year old what they were ...
… and she offered an unlikely answer.
But whatever they are, they sound gooooood!

Go for it; Do it
You’re a special guy. You do stuff on the field in a way nobody else does. I want to see you do it on Sunday.

Now I understand Dicky’s emphatic promotion of the Puffs :)

Dicky, if you never play a down in the NFL
you have brought a lot of joy and fun into the lives of everyone that watched you play at UK. I only have one question:
How in the world did you manage to sneak past everyone and get into that game without the coaches knowing??
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

Not the Dirty Birds!!!!!
I am so excited for your NFL opportunity and love your chances but Dicky, NOT THOSE DIRTY BIRDS!!!!! You need to be in the slot back home for Da Saints.

Cant wait to see you in the NFL...
Good luck, Dicky… it has to be a dream for you to be able to play for the Falcons after your father was drafted by them, especially with a great young quarterback like Matt Ryan. They could use a vibrant personality like you on the team!
60% of the time it works everytime
