Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. still an unknown Tue May 5, 09:13 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is in a good spot, according to president of football operations Matt Ryan, but they don't know what to expect for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Penix tore his ACL seven months ago. So, as The Athletic's Josh Kendall suggests, health is the first piece of information we need to determine what kind of competition he'll face from free-agent addition Tua Tagovailoa. From there, it's going to be about who best fits into new coach Kevin Stefanski's offense. While Tagovailoa is the favorite, it's hard to imagine the Falcons not giving Penix a shot this year, considering they spent the No. 8 pick on him just two years ago. But a new coaching staff and personnel department will likely feel less pressure to play him. |

Link to story Falcons | Vinny Anthony signed Sun Apr 26, 09:10 AM
Wisconsin WR Vinny Anthony signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 25. He will receive $250,000 in guaranteed money, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Anthony's grandfather Dwight Lee played running back for the Falcons in 1968, so this is a reunion of sorts. Anthony had the second fastest three cone time (6.86) at the Combine, so you know he has the quickness to get open. He only projects as a slot receiver, and Anthony isn't anything special after the catch, but a roster spot on the team's poor wide receiver depth chart is ripe for the picking. The Falcons gave him a bigger bonus than seventh round picks got last year, so expect him to at worst make the practice squad. |
