The Apalachee High School football team visited the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. The student athletes made the special trip just over a week after a devastating school shooting.
The Falcons were continuing preparations for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Falcons' practice complex is located in Flowery Branch, Georgia, about 20 miles from the Apalachee High School campus. Chantz Martin is a sports writer for Fox News Digital.
"I think it's incredible that you get a chance to see some young kids going through some tough stuff," Falcons assistant head coach Jerry Gray said. "I always look and say, 'Man, what are they going through?' They've got to go back to the school where it happened."
