After a workout, the Falcons signed wide receiver Chris King on Friday.

King, who played at Duquesne, was signed by the Arizona Cardinals after the 2016 NFL draft.

King was a first-team All-Northeast Conference pick in 2015. He led the Dukes with 81 receptions for 1,136 yards (14.0 avg.) and eight touchdowns while starting all 12 games as a senior.

The addition of King gives the Falcons 89 players on their 90-man roster.
