Falcons Report Day: A position-by-position look at the team
FLOWERY BRANCH --The Falcons report for training camp today.
During the countdown to training camp we took a position-by-position look at the team.
There's an open media session from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., which is normally just a photo. We'll post a video from the players moving in and if there's any news, we'll send that along. Check back later for updates on AJC.com and for the 5 key position battles on MyAJC.com later today.
