need help confirming "alleged" former NFL player......lol

[OneGrassRoot]

I met a guy today who says he used to play for the Atlanta Falcons. Based on his age, I'd say mid to late 80s.

Is there a way to find a list of former players? I Googled, to no avail.

If I can confirm this one fact, the rest of his story is most likely true....lol

Thanks.....:)

2. sorry........

I thought maybe you guys simply knew where rosters of former players can be found. I went to the Falcons' site but got nothing.

The name is Mark Rampetsreiter. I Googled but didn't get anything about football.

Thanks again......

3. That name doesn't appear on the Falcons' alltime roster

That might be regular season only. But most likely a phony.
