FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- In an almost-empty Atlanta Falcons locker room Monday afternoon, safety Richie Grant stood at his stall. A couple of teammates were milling around, a couple more playing table tennis, but he was there answering questions.
In some ways, after the last two weeks for the team’s secondary, it was a fitting image. The Falcons entered the season with a secondary that was their deepest and most talented unit. Casey Hayward, a former Pro Bowler, was at one corner. A.J. Terrell, one of the top young cornerbacks in the league, was at the other.
