Keith Smith has played for the Atlanta Falcons since 2019. On Mar. 19, Smith signed a one-year extension with the team. He spent most of the Falcons’ 2022 season with the special teams unit.

Cops arrested Falcons practice-squad wideout Cameron Batson in December for instigating a police chase in ATL. The Falcons released Batson promptly after his run-in with the law.

Then there’s the Georgia Bulldogs: the reigning CFP champs with a string of offseason violations on the road. One of the on-road incidents resulted in a fatal crash that claimed two lives: Bulldogs OL Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.
