Back in August of 2016, the former Alabama standout invited Flair to come give the Falcons a pep-talk, and boy, did he deliver.

The friendship between two is interesting, considering the two very different personalities, but we couldn’t be more thrilled about it.
One thing is certain: There were at least two NFL players who were stylin’ and profiling’ on Sunday.
