When the Falcons return to Flowery Branch for XFINITY® Atlanta Falcons Training Camp, competitions will be taking place at nearly every spot across the roster. As coach Dan Quinn explained at minicamp, however, certain positions will be worth extra attention come July.
One such position is the offensive line. Although four starting spots appear to be locked up, the developing battle at right guard should be hard-fought. Chris Chester, the starter last season, will be pushed by Mike Person, Tom Compton and rookie Wes Schweitzer.
And there will be plenty of players — many of whom are being cross-trained to improve their versatility — fighting for backup jobs.
