Rookies to go through Navy SEALs training

The Falcons’ rookie minicamp will conclude Sunday with Navy SEALs-style training.

The Acumen Performance Group (APG) will be on hand to put the group through the paces.

The drills are designed to improve communication, leadership, team cohesion and attention to detail.

"APG's Athletic division creates accountable teams with a positive mental attitude, a high-performing team culture, and an iron-bound will to win," according to the group's website.
