I’ve said it dozens of times in my many long years in the Atlanta Falcons blogging mines. Organized team activities and minicamp are a lot of fun, but also something we have to avoid reading to heavily into. It’s not just that they’re early practices with (usually) key players missing, but also that the competitions don’t really ramp up until training camp.
Still, there are always trend lines to watch and things to know, and the on-the-ground reporters have been doing a nice job of providing those in clips and drips via Twitter and Threads. With OTAs wrapping yesterday and only mandatory minicamp ahead before we hit training camp, it’s a good time to talk about what we’ve learned from OTAs thus far.
