Mr. Poe! I am glad I got to know him a bit when he was here. Nicest guy in the world.

RE: Great article on Dontari Poe
Poe is about makeovers. Football enabled him to makeover his life. He grew up in a crime- and drug-infested Whitehaven neighborhood with a single mother of four. Many friends never made it out. It’s not an uncommon story.

“Growing up in Memphis wasn’t too different from anywhere else, and it didn’t seem difficult because it’s what I was used to,” he said. “But for the discipline and the structure that I needed, football helped. It kept me out of the streets. I loved it. Football changed my life. Football probably saved my life.”

RE: Great article on Dontari Poe
Having been a Falcon fan since their inception in 1966, I am excited to see Dontari in the red and black. I remember how amped up Tommy West was to sign him as a Tiger.

I only lived in the Atlanta area for their first two seasons, but I have lived and died with them for 51 years now. i think that Poe will be a huge addition to the Falcon defense.
