Mark Richt reacts to Todd Gurley signing with Atlanta Falcons

Former Georgia football HC Mark Richt reacted to the news of the Atlanta Falcons signing Todd Gurley.

Less than 24 hours after being released by the Los Angeles Rams, Todd Gurley has found a new home.

The former Georgia running back is coming back to the Peach State, where he has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

The news of Gurley’s signing created a massive buzz around the NFL, but nobody loved it more than those who double as a Georgia Bulldog and Atlanta Falcon fan.

Mark Richt, who coached at Georgia from 2001-15, may have no ties to the Falcons but he took to Twitter to express his excitement over Gurley, who he coached in Athens from 2012-14, coming back home.

Richt is right. We are umping for joy about this decision to bring Gurley back to Georgia.

Go Dawgs!
