The Atlanta Falcons obviously went into the offseason intent on adding a place-kicker to compete with veteran Matt Bryant.
They might have accomplished their goal with the addition of undrafted Nick Rose out of Texas. The former college walk-on made 13 of 17 of field goals for the Longhorns last season, including a 53-yarder. A video he posted of an 80-yard field goal he kicked in practice went viral.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn was asked after rookie minicamp if the 22-year-old Rose could indeed compete with the soon-to-be 41-year-old Bryant, who is coming off a significant injury.
