The Falcons haven’t finished assembling their list of undrafted free agents just yet, but it’s safe to say the most intriguing name on the list on paper belongs to one Jared Pinkney from Vanderbilt.
Pinkney went from one of the most highly-touted tight end prospects in this class to an undrafted free agent in the span of a single year, a startling fall for a 6’4”, 260 pounder who had one of the most productive seasons in college football in 2018. There was somewhat of a perfect storm of factors that help to explain why that happened, and that help to give us hope that Pinkney can turn into a legitimate asset for the Falcons.
