Younghoe Koo and Ryan Allen aren’t the biggest names the Falcons will sign or re-sign this offseason, but they just became the first names to re-join the team. That in and of itself is telling.
The Falcons aren’t really in a position where special teams can be their top priority, but it’s evident that it is a top priority, given that the Falcons have signed three special teamers (Sam Irwin-Hill is the other) already in 2020, Thomas Dimitroff has openly talked up the specialists in this year’s class, and Atlanta endured a nightmarish run of injuries and bumbling on teams last year.
