Following their selection of Tyler Allgeier in the fifth round, the Atlanta Falcons continued adding to their collection of physical offensive talent in this draft by selecting University of Georgia guard Justin Shaffer.
Shaffer was named a Second-Team All-SEC selection in 2021, playing in 15 games at left guard for the national champions in 2021. Shaffer has a large frame at 6’3 and 326 pounds. He allowed five sacks and 30 pressures in his collegiate career, starting on the interior of Georgia’s offensive line in each of the past two seasons.
Shaffer does a great job with using heavy hands to his advantage and is known for his mean streak.
