"Former Falcons linebacker Buddy Curry and current kicker Matt Bryant spoke to the Health and Human Services committee of the Georgia legislature in support of the "Georgia Return to Play Act of 2012" on Wednesday at the State Capitol.

"I remember coming off the field in a daze," said Curry, who played for the Falcons from 1980-87. "I was trying to find out which sideline was my own. ... My only thought was to get back on the field."

Bryant, a father of seven kids ages 14 to 5 months, wants what is best for the youth."
