Why Olamide Zaccheaus won the battle for WR6

Final cuts have come in for the Falcons at last, and the 53-man roster has taken shape for the beginning of the 2019 season. There were a lot of close battles this year across the roster, with an abundance of players standing out at EDGE, RB, TE, and LB. But the fiercest competition of all might have been at WR, where half a dozen players were competing for the final two spots on the roster.

Among the top options were veteran Justin Hardy, 2018 practice squad holdovers Christian Blake and Devin Gray, 2019 sixth-round pick Marcus Green, and UDFA Olamide Zaccheaus.
