Falcons’ Roddy White having his best season yet

ATLANTA (AP) — Roddy White is one of the biggest cutups in the Atlanta Falcons locker room.

He has this infectious, high-pitched laugh that gets quite a workout, whether he’s cracking a joke or playing along with a teammate. He’ll say pretty much whatever comes to his mind and if someone is offended, well, so be it. On the rare occasion that someone ticks him off, chances are he won’t stay mad for long.

Early on in his career, White’s carefree attitude led some to wonder if he’d take full advantage of his talents.

Not anymore. White made the Pro Bowl the past two years, and his numbers through the first seven games this season are better than any other receiver in the NFL: a league-leading 54 receptions for 747 yards.

On the field, he’s all business.
