Todd Gurley in the new all-black Atlanta Falcons jerseys is straight fire.

Deion Sanders once told us, “You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you play good…”

Prime Time is a legend in The ATL for a reason. Sanders is the best cornerback in the history of the NFL, and he got his professional start with the Atlanta Falcons back in 1989. He only played five years in Atlanta, but left an indelible mark on the NFC franchise. His No. 21 jersey with that 1990s “Back in Black” look is a precious commodity, and that’s why I have that kit hanging in my closet.

Since retiring numbers isn’t always possible in the NFL, the No. 21 jersey that used to belong to Sanders and former Pro Bowl cornerback Desmond Trufant now belongs to newcomer free agent running back Todd Gurley. After five years with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Gurley comes back to Georgia where he played his college ball up the road in Athens. He’s a Dirty Bird now.

…and a good-looking one, too. In case you wanted to see what Gurley looks like in a Falcons jersey, check this out. The team’s official account tweeted out a picture of Gurley sprinting down the field in Atlanta’s new all-black threads. No, these aren’t the 1990s retro “Back in Black” throwbacks, but Atlanta just sold a ton of Todd Gurley No. 21 jerseys with this one sweet graphic.

Todd Gurley looks amazing in the Atlanta Falcons’ new all-black threads.

I touched on how incredible wide receiver Julio Jones looked in the controversial gradient jerseys yesterday. Admittedly, the gradient look was a tough sell initially. Putting Grady Jarrett in that uniform for the launch wasn’t the best idea unless you think his given name and gradient sound similar, then super! Jones just sold the hell out of some gradients, as Gurley did in the all-blacks.

You what’ll look better than Gurley in these all-black jerseys? Finding pay dirt after pay dirt wearing them, as the Dirty Birds destroy an NFC South rival at home in Uncle Arthur’s Spaceship. That train horn better be blaring louder than it ever has when Gurley scores his first touchdown for his adopted home state’s NFL franchise.

Gurley may have a lot of wear and tear on his body, but he’s only 25 years old. The guy is a relentless competitor and one who will give everything he has on his one-year contract with the Falcons. If he can approach 1,000 yards on the ground and help quarterback Matt Ryan out in the receiving game and for the love of god in pass protection, Gurley can have a great year in Atlanta.

Once your paycheck clears, go get yourself a Gurley all-black Falcons jersey and be a champion.
