Falcons sign seventh-round pick Renfree

Falcons quarterback Sean Renfree, one of the team’s three seventh-round picks, signed with the team Wednesday.

Terms were undisclosed.

That leaves cornerback Desmond Trufant as the only unsigned member of the team’s 2013 draft class.

Renfree, 6-5, 225 pounds, was selected 249th overall. He started 36 of 42 career games at Duke completing 898 of 1,389 pass attempts (64.7 percent) for 9,465 yards with 51 touchdowns and 40 interceptions.

Renfree, who has recovered from shoulder surgery, is expected to compete with Dominique Davis and Seth Doege for the backup positions behind Matt Ryan.
