Quinn believes young team will develop in 2017
While trying to rebound from the devastating Super Bowl loss, Falcons coach Dan Quinn believes the youth of the team will be a plus.
“We have 63 of 64 guys now (under contract), and 32 of them are going into year two to four,” Quinn said when speaking to reporters at the owners meeting in Arizona on Wednesday.
“That fires (general manager) Thomas (Dimitroff) and I up that we are going to try to (bring) them through and try to develop them together.”
The Falcons start their offseason strength-and-conditioning program April 17. However, they are set to hold a players-only camp in Florida before they report.
