Adam Replogle: "I always give 100% effort"

Atlanta Falcons tackle Adam Replogle has said that he always gives "100% effort" on the field.

The rookie made his debut for the team against the Cincinnati Bengals, taking part in 43 snaps for the NFC South champions.

The 22-year-old told the team's website: "It was incredible. Going out onto the field during introductions, just looking at the crowd cheering, it was awesome.

"I'm a hard worker. I always give 100% effort. I think that's what I've shown and that's what I'll continue to show.

"Being on an NFL team feels awesome. It's definitely a dream come true. I think everyone who plays football as a little kid dreams about playing in the NFL."

Replogle is trying to secure a place on the team's 53-man roster for the 2013 NFL season.
