Atlanta needs safety help. They patched over the position for 2021 with the free agent additions of Duron Harmon and Erik Harris, but there is a clear need for a long-term starter. Enter Richie Grant, the former UCF Knight, who the Falcons just took at pick No. 40.
Our own Eric Robinson is a big Grant fan, as his writeup of the gifted young safety will attest. Here’s what he wrote back in March:
His frame is ideal for today’s NFL. Grant shows excellent range and can track the football with ease. His mental processing when diagnosing passing plays is polished and of course, Grant’s ball skills are very sound.
