The Falcons announced that they have signed a tight end on Thursday morning.
Oh, and he’s from England.
Alex Gray, 26, signed with the Falcons and is among four international players added to practice squads for the 2017 season, according to a statement released by the NFL on Thursday. All four players are part of a new International Player Pathway program and join teams in the NFC South.
The three other players are Alex Jenkins (New Orleans Saints), Eric Nzeocha (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and defensive end Efe Obada (Carolina Panthers), who was originally signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 2015.
