The Falcons moved into their training facility in Flowery Branch, Ga., back in August 2000, almost a quarter-century ago. The facility has undergone some upgrades here and there, but those changes were nothing like the massive overhaul the facility saw this offseason.
Following the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the NFL Players Association released grades for each team covering several categories, from facilities to food to treatment of players’ families. Falcons president Greg Beadles said during the tour that the NFLPA grades were not a primary driver behind these upgrades, but did acknowledge that better facilities and amenities should make it a little easier to bring in top free agency targets.
