Falcons reportedly signing USFL Defensive Player of the Year Frank Ginda

The Falcons rarely stand pat with their roster, constantly tinkering to try to find quality reserves. That seems to have paid off recently with the addition of running back Godwin Igwebuike, who had a pretty terrific night against the Dolphins, and it may pay off again with the addition of Frank Ginda.

The 26-year-old linebacker is fresh off a Defensive Player of the Year honor in the USFL, where he played for former Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan on the Michigan Panthers and led the league in tackles. He spent the 2018 and 2019 preseasons with the Dolphins and Saints, respectively, and had a big game in the 2018 preseason finale against the Falcons with 10 tackles and a forced fumble.
