While many college football players are hoping for a shot at playing professionally, Falcons players know that for many of them, the sky is literally the limit.
Perhaps some of them will be piloting those fighter jets when they fly over future Falcons practices.
Until then, though, they'll use it as motivation for the upcoming season.
