FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – It was hard to miss the ear-to-ear grin on Dan Quinn’s face while he was recapping the first practice with his 2018 rookie class on Friday afternoon.
“Awesome first day,” said Quinn, who gushed about the players’ effort, enthusiasm and even the physical shape they were in following the first session of the two-day camp at the team’s practice facilities. “It’s an excellent rookie class. They’re real serious about it, ready to go and a number of tryout players have caught our attention, too.”

Yet as much as Quinn liked what he saw from the Falcons’ six draft picks, rookie free-agent signees and the dozens of tryout players, it was hardly a perfect practice.
