Falcons Roddy White Honors Twitter Bet With Fan

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White finally got it together and did right by Dylan Holt. Holt was a fan who made a bet with White on Twitter about the outcome of the Duke-Mercer match up in the first round of March Madness.

Initially White had decided the bet wasn’t “real” and wasn’t going to pay up. Holt was actually ok with that but, after pressure from Twitter fans, White is not only paying up, he’s giving a little extra.
