    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Ovie Mughelli-RB-Falcons Mar. 2 - 4:49 pm et Falcons signed fullback Ovie Mughelli to a six-year, $18 million contract. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus.This is the first step as Bobby Petrino installs a power-based running system in Atlanta. Mughelli is a punishing lead blocker and seemed to really develop as a receiver late in 2006, catching 20 passes from Week 10 on. Look for a power back to be a priority for Atlanta in the draft.</div>Overpaid, not worth being the top paid Fullback in the NFL IMO.

    I'm pissed! I don't even know who he is. I've never heard of him at all! And we gave that guy a 5 year 20+ million dollar contract and we didn't try to even get a guard or a tackle?!

    The guy is an absolute monster. Him and Lorenzo Neal are the two best blockers. Excellent move by Petrino.

    I just found out, Griffith is a Free Agent. I didn't know that. The Jets should sign him, we could use his versitility at FB.

    I think the 49ers should get Griffith.

    Ovie Mughelli was amazing for us this season. He came on late. Strong runner, good hands, and a great lead blocker. Falcons made a good move.
