Atlanta Falcons: Samuel L. Jackson

When it comes to movie stars, there are few more recognizable as Samuel L. Jackson. Whether he is doing commercials, starring in movies like Pulp Fiction, or being parodied on television shows, you really cannot move up and down the TV dial without at least seeing Jackson’s face one time.

In addition to be a monster star, Jackson is also a die hard fan of his beloved Atlanta Falcons. He has been a fan of the team his whole life, and not only is he a fixture at games now, but he actually once was an employee of the team during his college days.

Jackson went to Morehouse College, which is located in Atlanta, and he earned some money actually working for the Falcons. Jackson was a vendor at the stadium, selling things like hot dogs and hamburgers, as he continued his love for his Falcons.

Can you imagine him selling hot dogs with his classic voice?

In 2014, Jackson was featured in the Rise Up video, which was a hype video for the team. A fixture at games, his lifelong devotion to the Falcons is on display everywhere he goes, and during games, he is one of the more vocal fans out there.

The 69-year old Jackson has seen some great football from his Falcons as of late, even if you include the fact they blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Still, he has to be happy with the direction this franchise is headed, as they have the weapons to challenge once again for supremacy in the NFC in 2018.
