Former Falcons inside linebacker Buddy Curry is going to be inducted into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame tonight, according to the official team website. Curry was a second-round draft pick of the Falcons in 1980 and won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award that year.
These days, Curry is a trainer with USA Football. Here’s what Curry said about his induction:
“I am truly blessed being drafted by Atlanta and the opportunity to play eight years for the Falcons. … I consider it an honor to be an inductee when there are so many great athletes in this city. It’s a true honor.”
Curry went on to play in 109 career games, all with Atlanta. He posted a total of seven interceptions and scored two defensive touchdowns.
