Falcons Training Camp!!! (Pic Heavy...and a surprise guest) - ugameck - 08-01-2013
Took my oldest to training camp today (rained on us right as practice let out so only 2 rookie autos....and one vet who's not a Falcon)...but that was just weird since no one recognized him...except me (Steelers fans?)
Let the pics begin.

They picked on him all day: stinking rookie holdout:

And...
Kordell Stewart!!!???!!! Super nice, I did a double take, he was kinda surprised he was recognized but gladly signed a HUGE autograph on my daughter's football.

I think he was surprised I even noticed him! (Nobody else did). I brought that ball for Falcons players to sign (bought a sweet silver pen and everything). He signed a MEGA autograph on the side of the ball. My daughter and I decided right then - this is Kordells ball. We went right to the concession stand and bought a new ball for Falcons.
Hey - I'm also a closet Steeler fan....why wouldn't I be when they were the only team to give Hines a chance?!?
heck. I even said: "Thank you, Mr Stewart for signing my daughter's football."

Also cool of you to appreciate his time ... many, many fans are actually a-- hats.
And that's pretty odd no one noticed him ... he's still pretty young and has been on the networks and what not. Oh well, score for you!

what a great story! I've always wanted a Kordell Stewart, those are definite memories that'll last a lifetime!

Yeah- it's cool. I think he was happy seeing me get giddy noticing who he was. A guy on his radio show saw my shirt (I was the dork wearing a "Rated Rookie" shirt from Panini) and called me out immediately about what I was wearing: "hey, that's the rookie logo from back in the 80's right?!?"
Yeah, it paid to be a card geek today.

What would be really cool is to print your photos out on nice glossy stock and get them signed at camp ... talk about TRUE 1/1s, LOL
