FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- We all change over time, and so do the things we post and write on social media.
And in celebration of the eighth annual Social Media Day – which, of course has its own hashtag on Twitter #SocialMediaDay – we've decided to check out some of the first-ever tweets by current Falcons players. As you'd expect, there was a real mix of humor, excitement, sincerity, confusion and even some deep thoughts.
Take a look at 25 of our favorites tweets, listed in no specific order below.
