The Falcons are squared away at the center position about as well as any team in the National Football League, with future Hall of Famer Alex Mack. However, Mack is no spring chicken at 33 years old. I firmly believe he has some quality seasons ahead of him, but with no proven starter at left
Zack Baun has been one of my favorite prospects to examine during the NFL Draft process. He is a swiss army knife that a coach like Dan Quinn is likely salivating over. For a while now, he has been viewed as a fringe first-round prospect. Now, it seems like there is a chance he could
As the days wind down until the NFL Draft, we are wrapping up our series of NFL Draft profiles. Among the last remaining prospects I was about to cover is Matt Hennessy, an interior lineman out of Temple. It turns out one of my favorite interior offensive line options for Atlanta happens to be on

One of the storylines of this year’s NFL Draft class is how some believe it could be the deepest class of wide receiver prospects ever. With a trio of Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage intact, this likely will not be pertinent to Atlanta, though I would not rule out them selecting one in
We may not currently have NBA basketball at the moment, but if you are a Trae Young fan, you are at least getting a healthy dose of him during your quarantine. Young is still alive in the NBA 2K tournament among players after waxing the Kings’ Harrison Barnes 101-59 in the first round. He is
The Falcons did a terrific job filling vacancies at tight end, running back, and EDGE rusher shortly after the new league year began. Now, they will look for answers at cornerback, interior offensive line/defensive line, and linebacker as well as depth as a whole with the virtual NFL Draft approaching. It is almost a foregone
While the team’s top six spots are all but locked up in the Braves’ bullpen, it was quite the intriguing battle in Spring Training for the final two. However, there was one invisible candidate who could have made things even more exciting. On the SportsTalkATL Podcast, we have asked numerous players in the Braves’ farm
