T.J. Yates took the ‘great coach one day’ hint
Posted May 13, 2021
Atlanta Falcons passing-game specialist T.J. Yates took the hint. “When you’re at the end of your playing career and your coaches start telling you you’re going to be a great coach one day, that’s usually a sign it’s about time to hang it up,” Yates said. After playing in the NFL from 2011-18, Yates, a former UNC standout, spent a year out of football.
