ATLANTA -
There were plenty of wide eyes at Children's Heathcare of Atlanta on Tuesday when some Atlanta Falcons players showed up.
Falcons safety Chris Hope, tight end Adam Nissley and running back Jacquizz Rodgers were just some of the teammates who made the rounds at Scottish Rite.
The children and their families got some face time with some of their favorite Falcons, including a couple of hours of chatting, picture taking and autographing footballs.
Some of these children saw Jacquizz Rodgers on TV gain 110 yards in the Falcons' win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Rodgers says about 30 of his teammates visit hospitals every week and contribute in other ways to the community as a way to give back.
