Falcons Wanted To ‘Potentially Draft’ Calvin Austin III, Says Arthur Smith: ‘I Was Excited When I Got Here’

We know what the Pittsburgh Steelers thought of Calvin Austin III coming out of college because they made him their fourth-round pick. Reports also indicated at the time that the Baltimore Ravens were high on him with audible groans in their draft war room when the Steelers took him one slot ahead of them. We can now also add the Atlanta Falcons to the mix of teams that were after the speedy WR’s services.

“We wanted to potentially draft him when I was in Atlanta and then obviously Pittsburgh took him,” OC Arthur Smith said Wednesday of Calvin Austin in a video posted by TribLive’s Chris Adamski on X.
