Which young Falcons deserve a longer look in the preseason finale?

There is, mercifully, only a single preseason game remaining. That means one final opportunity for your roster hopefuls and even locked in guys to make their cases for regular season roles, which means it’s likely to be sloppy but maybe actually kind of interesting!

The four players below are a mix of strong roster bets (Matt Gono, Duke Riley), roster hopefuls (Olamide Zaccheaus), and guys hanging on to their roster lives by a thread (Giorgio Tavecchio). Here’s why all four deserve longer looks this coming Thursday night.

At this point, the Falcons appear to have no real interest in giving Marcus Green a shot to contribute on offense in his first year, and it looks like Kenjon Barner is going to hold down at least one of the returner gigs barring something amazing in the final preseason game.
