The Falcons have plenty of tough roster decisions to make this offseason after adding a half dozen interesting veteran depth pieces and seven new draft choices. As always, special teams value will help to make some of those decisions easier.
In years past, being a Keith Armstrong favorite helped a lot, which is how we knew that, say, Eric Weems was likely to return during his run in Atlanta, or Kemal Ishmael was going to stick over the last few years. The picture is clouded by the addition of Ben Kotwica as the team’s new special teams coordinator, who will carry his own preferences that will certainly impact the final roster.
