Brandon Boykin visiting the Falcons today, could offer depth at cornerback

Boyking, 25, is an Atlanta native and reasonably successful cornerback during his brief NFL career, with a standout 2013 that saw him reel in six interceptions. After 16 games in Pittsburgh last year, he hit the street, was signed by the Panthers, and then released again by a team that had barely seen him on the field, if they did at all. While Boykin's no one's idea of an elite player, he's a quality slot cornerback and potential return option for a Falcons team that still isn't 100% sure what Devin Hester will offer them in 2016.
