FLOWERY BRANCH -- Seattle safety Kam Chancellor, perhaps the league's biggest hitter, has been impressed with Falcons rookie safety Keanu Neal.
The two players have been working out together this week. Neal was the 17th player selected in the NFL draft.

It's about longevity, keep your eyes on the lookout for @keanu_neal. Humble and Hungry is all we know. There is no limits for this young man." #NFL #BigSafeties #HeavyHitters #Humble #Hungry #FXF #EachOneTeachOne
