Last year, Cornell Armstrong played a major role for the Falcons down the stretch in a cornerback group struggling to find answers for injuries and...well, struggling players. Armstrong was a starter for the last month or so of the season, taking over for Darren Hall, and figured to compete for a roster spot again this summer.
Like Darren Hall, Armstrong likely would’ve come up short in that quest, what with the additions of Jeff Okudah, Mike Hughes, Tre Flowers, and others. Unlike Hall, he didn’t even get a chance to really compete past a certain point, as an injury ensured he never appeared in a preseason game.
