Head coach Dan Quinn, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian and the Atlanta Falcons want to get full use of its 26th overall pick from this year’s NFL Draft. During Saturday’s rookie minicamp session, the team experimented with receiver Calvin Ridley on special teams.
According to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Falcons have an opening for someone to return kicks and punts after it chose to not re-sign Andre Roberts. Despite having a couple of players vying for the role, Quinn wanted to give his first-round pick an opportunity.
“So, we got a chance to see him (do) a variety of things today, and that will continue through the OTAs,” Quinn said on Ridley per AJC.
