Falcons pass on supplemental draft players

The Falcons haven’t selected a supplemental daft player since 1984. That’s when the first Terminator came out. It’s been awhile.

Was that going to change in 2019?

The Falcons were at Washington State safety Jalen Thompson’s workout, along with 25 other teams. The Falcons are notable shallow at safety with Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen coming off injury, they put Thompson through position drills, and a lot of his measurables indicate indicate he could be a Dan Quinn player.

To be fair, there’s not a lot of success around supplemental players.
