Get the latest news and rumors about the Atlanta Falcons from Rant Sports.
What else can you really say about Tony Gonzalez? This guy has one of the best reputations in professional sports, and now he’s receiving some acknowledgement that he is in fact a ‘good guy.’ Gonzalez has been declared the winner of this year’s Good Guy Award, which is given out by the Professional Football Writers [...]
Another player possibility has apparently bitten the dust for the Atlanta Falcons. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Richard Seymour and the Falcons have gone back and forth, with both sides claiming they worked together to try and come to an agreement. It now appears that agreement isn’t going to happen. Seymour himself thanked [...]
The new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons took yet another step closer to reality this week. 360 Architecture announced this week that three Atlanta firms have joined in the venture. Bill Johnson of 360 Architecture stated that Goode Van Slyke Architecture, Stanley Beaman & Sears and tvsdesign are the choices to assist in the new [...]
“Do or do not. There is no try.” That is indeed a quote from a fictional character—namely, Yoda from Star Wars—but the real life connotations cannot be denied for Atlanta Falcons defensive end Jonathan Massaquoi. Massaquoi didn’t have the best season in 2012. Granted, he was a rookie. However, the competition will be stiff in [...]
Unknown, but not to the ones in the know…especially the ones in the know for the Atlanta Falcons. With pick 249 in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Falcons chose the accomplished Duke Blue Devils quarterback Sean Renfree…but what did they get with that pick? A quarterback worthy enough to be Duke’s first draft pick in nine years, [...]
The Atlanta Falcons‘ cornerback spot took one major loss in Brent Grimes and one minor loss in Dunta Robinson leaving via free agency this offseason, and it leaves a lot of open snaps for young players to fill up. While Robert Alford, Dominique Franks and first-round rookie Desmond Trufant will all battle for playing time [...]
Atlanta Falcons defensive back Desmond Trufant, who was the organization’s first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, will participate in organized team activities for the first time this year. Trufant was not allowed to suit up with the Falcons at OTAs until his senior exams were done. Not only is the 22-year-old capable of having [...]
Jacquizz Rodgers is used to being underestimated. At 5’6” and 196 pounds, most observers of the Atlanta Falcons merely dismissed him with nary a second glance, but Rodgers’ 2012 season was notable…if not necessarily outstanding. He stole the spotlight often from the now-former Falcon Michael Turner, and is well on the way to making a [...]
For those in the know, one word comes to mind when the Atlanta Falcons discussion turns to rookie Robert Alford. That word is ‘underrated.’ Alford isn’t the biggest, and he isn’t the most well-known in the NFL…but that will change soon enough. He was overlooked by the big-name schools before being given his chance to [...]
Sometimes, real life interferes with real football. Just ask Desmond Trufant. While the Atlanta Falcons organized team activities are underway, Trufant is doing what is required by the NFL rules…finishing school. According to those rules, he can’t participate in any OTA’s until his class graduates. To his benefit, Trufant did participate in the rookie minicamp; [...]
