5 things to know about the Falcons on Wednesday
Here are five things to know about the Falcons on Wednesday:
1. Practice time. The Falcons are set to practice at 9:30 a.m. The gates are set to open at 8:30 a.m.
2. Champ was at practice. Former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield attended practice on Tuesday.
3. Agents at practice. Tom Condon and Todd France were at practice talking to general manager Thomas Dimitroff after practice. Condon represents quarterback Matt Ryan.
4. What's up with Collins? Jalen Collins was working with the third team defense on Tuesday. We were so caught in the Takkarist McKinley's first live practice that we forget to ask coach Dan Quinn why Collins is working with the third team.
5. Keep an eye on J'Terius Jones. Falcons defensive end/linebacker J'Terius Jones, who played at Miller Grove High before starring at Miami of Ohio, has a lot of pressure on him. He's wearing jersey No. 55, which belonged to the great John Abraham.
