The Falcons are not frequent supplemental drafters. There’s a running joke among the team here that we could just re-publish the same supplemental draft article over and over again, given that the Falcons never do anything and are barely ever linked to any prospects who could be drafted through it.
That’s why this news, while another major salvo in the league’s “we’ll give up anything but the season” campaign, means very little for Atlanta.
The team last made a supplemental pick in 1980, when they took defensive end Matthew Teague out of Texas A&M with a 7th rounder.
