So I was not sure if this was the right place to ask this section wise or not. I'm part Italian and have always gotten very happy when an Italian American becomes an NFL player. Well in recent years a Kicker from Italy Giorgi Tavecchio has come over played college and was on the Raiders from 14-17 before being released after an injury and joining the Falcons replacing an Injured Matt Bryant now ATL's Kicker for good. Backstory is I met a few people online through mutual soccer interest who are from Italy who found out I was American who loved football and they started asking me questions like probabilities of this kicker from California who was in the NFL barely making teams. I knew of him somewhat after just coming across him in my Madden game when he came out of college as an FA looking for a replacement in my franchise for my guy hurt. So I started gathering info on the guy for just general consensus. After talking to the group of people for a few weeks I was invited to join a Tavecchio facebook group page. They had a contact who informed the group page of Giorgio's where about for his career and other things. Giorgio doesn't do social media like FB,IG,Twitter,etc so it's hard to get personal contact with him or someone who from his PR team. They had a contact in the Italian media but unfortunately the journalist it seems did a few things and took some quotes off the group page he was not suppose too and they stopped working with this person. I don't know the whole story and this was what I was told by two administrators of the group.
I came here knowing we have a few people who know people in NFL circles who have NFL contacts. Unfortunately I don't live in the ATL area or have anyone who I know who has contacts with them. If anyone here knows anyone with Atl or has a suggestion to get in contact with Tavecchio or one of his reps that would be great. If you don't want to make the info public you can privately DM me. This is strictly for a big supporters FB group of mostly Italians and I told them as a friend I would help out. Even if you don't have a direct contact maybe some suggestions how to get in contact with someone who can contact him. I'm not positive how much he knows about the group or not. I did suggest going through the Falcons if they can help or maybe trying to find his agency to contact them. These people are really big fans of his and some have traveled strictly from Italy to see him play. They just want to get in contact with him for interviews and other stuff.
I appreciate any and all info in advance.
