The Atlanta Falcons will honor former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and wide receiver Roddy White in a retirement ceremony for both to officially retire from the NFL, the Falcons announced on Friday.
The ceremony will be held on June 12. Falcons owner and Chairman Arthur Blank, Vick, White and other special guests will be in attendance.
