Sean Weatherspoon made his presence felt right away in the Atlanta Falcons locker room.

FILE - In this Sept. 1, 2016, file photo, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon warms up before a preseason NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Atlanta. The Falcons have signed Weatherspoon for his third stint with the team, adding depth to the position which lost rookie Duke Riley to a knee injury, the team announced Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Sean Weatherspoon made his presence felt right away in the Atlanta Falcons locker room.
Some things never change.Cheap NFL Jerseys,
Weatherspoon began his third stint with the Falcons on Wednesday, even reclaiming his familiar No. 56. Rookie Jermaine Grace had been wearing that number, but he agreed to switch to 54.
"It's great to be back," Weatherspoon said, swaggering up to his locker as if he never left. "This is a place where I feel like I can be myself. I'm comfortable here."
The 29-year-old Weatherspoon, a first-round pick of the Falcons in 2010, spent five seasons with Atlanta but was plagued by injuries. He signed with Arizona in 2015, playing in 14 games, before re-joining the Falcons last year.
Again, Weatherspoon was sidelined by an injury, going down in Week 4 with a ruptured Achilles tendon .
It looked as if his career might be over, but he stayed in shape and kept bugging the Falcons about another opportunity. When rookie linebacker Duke Riley left last week's loss at New England with a knee injury — Jerseys NFL Wholesale,he's expected to be out about three weeks — Weatherspoon got the call.
He came in for a workout, and showed enough to win over coach Dan Quinn.
"He really had explosion and burst, and that's what I was wanting to see," Quinn said. "We thought that having some extended time for the rehab was good. It's been over a year since he had his injury."
Long one of the most outspoken players on the team, Weatherspoon has no intention of toning things down in what is likely the twilight of his career.
"Spoon!" quarterback Matt Ryan said, breaking into a big smile. "It's always good to have Spoon back. You certainly hear him when he comes in. I've loved him as a teammate, playing with him for a number of years. It's good to have a familiar face back in there. He can do good things for us, for sure."
Weatherspoon will likely start out on special teams, Wholesale Jerseys,but Quinn hopes he can work into good enough playing shape to warrant some time at both inside linebacker spots.
"It's going to take more than a day or two to get ready," Quinn said. "But he's chomping at the bit."
Weatherspoon isn't looking too far ahead.
He does think he can help the Falcons break out of their three-game losing streak, even if he's not on the field.
"You see a whole lot of talent," Cheap Jerseys Online,Weatherspoon said, glancing around the locker room. "You just feel like you can come in and maybe use your voice a little bit to kind of keep everybody a little bit more loose, a little more relaxed and having fun out there."

Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys

The San Francisco 49ers brought in Jimmy Garoppolo this week, and despite some viewing it as a chance to get a six- or seven-game tryout for the QB before paying him with either a lucrative long-term deal or an even more lucrative franchise tag, the Niners' brass made it fairly clear Tuesday they view the former New England Patriot as a franchise QB. One of the biggest reasons why? Per John Lynch,  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , coughing up a high second-rounder for a tryout is not something he'd do. "Honest to God, we need to get him in the playbook, that's where we're going to start, first things first. But I can tell you, second-round picks are very valuable in this league," the 49ers general manager said, "particularly where we are at as an organization, and so this is a guy you want and were willing to give what we thought was a very valuable commodity in exchange for him. So we're excited moving forward that he's going to be a part of our futu...

Wholesale Jerseys From China

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The whirlwind past 10 days for Duane Brown finally ended with the standout left tackle calling a new city home. It wasn't a straightforward path for Brown from ending his holdout with Houston to arriving in Seattle as the  China Jerseys Wholesale , newest member of the Seahawks. But somehow it ended up working very much in Brown's favor. "It's worked out pretty good for me, I've got to say," Brown said on Wednesday. "I thought I did some great things in my career.
