Robert Alford responds to Aaron Rodgers' shoulder bump with hilarious soccer-style flop

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford might have a career in soccer waiting for him if the whole football thing doesn’t work out.

On a fourth-quarter run by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers grabbed Alford by the face mask and ripped off his helmet. It was an easy 15-yard penalty against Rodgers. Then Rodgers bumped Alford with his shoulder on the way back to the field and Alford decided to have some fun.

After a delay of a second or two, Alford fell back into the officials in a flop that would make Manu Ginobili proud. Think about Redd Foxx faking a heart attack.

Alford isn’t the only person who thinks quarterbacks flop around too much. So he turned the tables in the NFC championship game. It didn’t draw a penalty, but it was pretty funny.
