In the days following last spring’s NFL Draft, pundits across America more or less agreed the Falcons came away with an impressive haul. One season isn’t enough time to know if those talent evaluators were right, but given what Atlanta’s first-years accomplished in 2015, it’s starting to look that way.
Dan Quinn’s general philosophies are big reasons why the rookies have fared well so far. As he mentioned in December, he wants his development program to ”take every guy as far as they can and say, ‘Can you be at your very best?’”
This approach has already made an appreciable difference, as prospects—from a top-10 pick to undrafted up-and-comers—helped the Falcon tremendously in 2015.
