I Think I Know That Guy
About a week ago I was in my normal seat at a weekly staff meeting when a familiar face caught my eye. Walking up the steps on the other side of the glass wall was Eric Sutulovich.
He was chatting with Head Coach Mike Smith.
At the time I couldn’t remember his name but I knew he [...]

Random thoughts from the back porch on the Monday after the NFL Draft…

Early Reports on UDFAs

Scout.com reports the Falcons have agreed to terms with multiple undrafted free agents including:
Clemson wide receiver Aaron Kelly
West Virginia offensive lineman Ryan Stanchek
Missouri linebacker Brock Christopher
Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson

Birds Take Tech Lineman in Seventh
A familiar face — at least to many Atlanta sports fans — will be staying close for the start of his NFL career.
The Falcons drafted Georgia Tech defensive tackle Vance Walker with the 210th pick in the NFL Draft (seventh round).
The selection was obtained via a trade with the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the draft, [...]
Adkins First Player Taken from Miami
With the third pick in the sixth round (176th overall) the Falcons selected Miami (Fla.) linebacker Spencer Adkins.

Adkins (5-foot-11, 230 lbs.) did well at his Pro Day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds.
He was a backup middle linebacker and came into games [...]
