Think back to the last legitimately intriguing Falcons backup quarterback we’ve seen in the Matt Ryan era. That wasn’t D.J. Shockley, who had been here for a couple of seasons already before Ryan showed up. It wasn’t John Parker Wilson, a man who Mike Smith and company loved for his grit and smarts but not his horse and buggy-powered arm.
It might have been Sean Renfree, the seventh round pick back in 2013 who never lived up to his billing thanks to injuries and scuffling preseason performances.
