ATLANTA — Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney doesn't ride a motorcycle — but he does fly his own plane. Risky? Maybe, but not specifically prohibited by the team.However, if Kerney were injured and missed games due to his hobby, the Falcons could recoup salary for breaching a "dangerous activities" clause in all NFL contracts.
Kerney is a licensed pilot who guides his single-engine plane from DeKalb Peachtree Airport to cities in the mid-Atlantic up to once a week in the offseason. He's even flown to the Bahamas, with backup quarterback Matt Schaub an occasional passenger.
Paragraph 3 of the NFL's Standard Representation agreement reads that "players will not engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury."
The NFL is different than other major sports because it rarely gets specific in contracts.
