A few weeks ago I wrote an article about positions I’d be watching during the Scouting Combine. With that event now in the books, I’ll review those position groups and their performances to look at some guys I think might be good fits for the Falcons.
Please keep in mind I’m looking at this only from the perspective of the prospects’ Combine performances, not their overall ratings.
Running Back
I’ve been wanting the Falcons to take a bigger back for a while now, just to have a legitimate short-yardage specialist on the roster. With the change from Kyle Shanahan to Steve Sarkisian and the loss of Patrick DiMarco in free agency, the team will now look to employ a more “athletic” (to use Thomas Dimitroff’s words) fullback.
