In the 44th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles, we discuss who’s on the Falcons’ radar screen as they are prepared to work the NFL scouting combine Tuesday through Monday, March 5. Ohio State center Billy Price, the Remington Award winner and two-time All-American, could come in an play guard for a few seasons before eventually sliding over to center to replace Alex Mack down the road.
