Falcons RT Ryan Schraeder feels like he should be starting

Falcons right tackle Ryan Schraeder’s NFL career has taken a roller coaster trajectory. After playing his college ball at Division 2 powerhouse Valdosta State, Schraeder went undrafted. He landed at Flowery Branch as an undrafted free agent and made the team. Then in 2016, he signed a 5 year extension that made him a rich man.

Just one year ago, Schraeder was kicking butt and taking names, particularly as a run blocker. Fast forward to 2018 and things have changed. Schraeder was benched Sunday in favor of Ty Sambrailo after weeks of sketchy play.
