Florida State’s ‘Red Lightning’ going to NFL, Falcons

Former Florida State ball boy “Red Lightning” is headed to the NFL and joining the Atlanta Falcons.

It looked like another member of the Florida State Seminoles is headed to the NFL. Famous Florida State Seminoles equipment manager Frankie Grizzle-Malgrat is leaving the college ranks for the greener pastures of professional football and joining the Atlanta Falcons.

Grizzle-Malgrat, or “Red Lightning” as he is known, was Florida State’s famous red-haired ball boy scene sprinting up and down the sideline. He rose to fame when a highlight reel was released on YouTube.

What does his his jump to the professional ranks mean? We don’t know exactly yet. Is he simply another person on hand to help with the logistics of a training camp with a larger amount of players before narrowing down the field to the regular season roster size, possibly.

Is there hope that we could see him running up and down the sidelines at Falcons games and into the end zone to celebrate with Julio Jones? We can only dream.

Either way, the legend of “Red Lightning” continues to grow.
