Last year was a rough one for defensive lineman John Cominsky. After being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft by the Falcons, he never really saw his career take off in Atlanta. Though he showed some promise in 2020, when Falcons new head coach Arthur Smith took over in 2021, Cominsky didn’t fit in their plans. He made a total of just four game appearances and only found the field for 13 defensive snaps.
So a year ago, as he was doing his exit interviews with the Falcons following their 7-10 season, Cominsky asked to be waived.
