QB Kurt Benkert has 2 weeks to prove he belongs with the Falcons

For the first time since the days of Dominque Davis and Sean Renfree, the Falcons have a developmental quarterback who might crack the top 53.

A good conversation broke out on Twitter Tuesday between myself, Aaron Freeman, and a couple of others from Falcondom on what’s to come of Falcons QB Kurt Benkert, the team’s priority undrafted free agent.

Benkert had a nice showing against the New York Jets in his first pro action before regressing a bit against the Chiefs. He’s got the arm people like to obsess over and seems to be a guy who could, as he grows, be a serviceable backup with a team one of these days.
