June 15, 2016

Falcons wide receiver David Glidden, an undrafted rookie from Oklahoma State who’s also been catching kickoffs, has impressed quarterback Matt Ryan.

“Dave Glidden has done a really good job for us as a young wide receiver,” Ryan said. “Coming in, he’s a little slot guy. I’ve been very impressed with him.”

Glidden was a tryout player for the rookie minicamp in May. He impressed the staff and was signed to the 90-man roster on May 7.

Glidden, 5-foot-8, 185 pounds, played in 47 games for Oklahoma State and caught 115 receptions for 1,655 yards and six touchdowns in his career.
