C.J. Saunders is getting his opportunity to compete for an NFL roster spot.
After initially signing on to play in The Spring League, Saunders will instead be spending this weekend in Atlanta, where he has been invited to participate in the Atlanta Falcons' rookie minicamp, he confirmed to Eleven Warriors on Tuesday.
This weekend will mark a return to competitive football for the first time in more than two years for Saunders, who missed the entire 2019 season with a knee injury and was not granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
