2025 East-West Shrine Bowl Day 2 notes and observations: Falcons appear to be on the hunt for defenders

Day 2 of the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl has concluded, and plenty of defenders stood out to me and perhaps the Atlanta Falcons staff. The Falcons were well-represented today, with more than a handful of scouts in the building. Even Thomas Dimitroff made an appearance.

From what I could tell, most of their attention was directed at the defense, and that’s no surprise, as Shrine is likely to produce some more-than-viable options on that side of the football. Here are the notes and observations from Day 2.
