The Falcons came into the offseason with considerable uncertainty at cornerback, which I guess is also true of nearly every other position on the roster. A.J. Terrell blossomed into a true building block, but aside from rookie Darren Hall, the Falcons don’t have a lot of promising options to develop and nobody who figured to be able to step right in and be a capable starter opposite Terrell.
Enter Casey Hayward, the former Packer, Charger and most recently Raider, who just signed a two year deal with the Falcons.
Hayward will be 33 this season, but hasn’t really slowed down, as he remains rock solid in coverage.
