Mandatory minicamp is the last significant item on the calendar between now and training camp, minus perhaps a small flurry of roster moves. With almost the full team on hand, it’s our first real glimpse at how this year’s team is going to shape up.
Some of the updates are continuations of earlier observations—Desmond Ridder’s progress, the center competition—but they’re still worthwhile. Others, such as Elijah Wilkinson getting time at left guard and who’s not going to get to practice in minicamp, are totally new. Either way, it’s nice to have something tangible to talk about with this Falcons team, isn’t it?
