Falcons bio: Bradie Ewing

5-foot-11, 243 pounds

Hometown: Richland Center, Wis.

Notes: Started his career as a walk-on for the Badgers. After his second season he was awarded a scholarship. He is noted for his blocking. He registered 30 touchdown-resulting blocks as he cleared the way for running back Montee Ball. He caught all 28 passes targeted to him last season and 19 of those catches went for first downs and 16 were of 10 yards or more. He was a team captain. "I'm just a versatile guy," Ewing said. "I can do all the things as a fullback. I can block. I can catch. I can split out as a receiver. I think it's my versatility [that the Falcons liked]."
