Mother of Bears draft pick Roquan Smith says she's still a Falcons fan
by from on (#3NVJY)
Despite her son getting drafted by the Chicago Bears, Roquan Smith's mother says she has no intention of ditching her Atlanta Falcons fandom.
Shaquana Thomas spoke to TMZ Sports after Smith, a linebacker out of Georgia, was selected eighth overall by the Bears in the 2018 NFL Draft, and said she'll be cheering for both teams - at least for now.
"I'll keep both," Thomas said. "I'm from Georgia, I'm in Georgia."
The Falcons don't face the Bears this season, so that will make things a bit easier for Thomas.
