The Atlanta Falcons made big roster changes just two weeks before the 2021 NFL Draft which could alter their draft board.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons announced that they made several changes to the running back room as they added running back/wide receiver/kick returner Cordelle Patterson and cut backup running back Ito Smith.

Cordelle Patterson has been a first or second All-Pro as a kick returner six times in the last eight seasons.
