Atlanta Falcons Strategy and Personnel 2009-05-01


Atlanta Falcons Strategy and Personnel 2009-05-01
The Falcons didn't totally ignore their offense. They selected right tackle Garrett Reynolds out of North Carolina in the fifth round. His dad Al


played at Tennessee and so did his uncle, the famed Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds.

He will line up behind Tyson Clabo at right tackle, with the hopes that he'll develop into a starter.

While Reynolds was the only offensive player drafted, the Falcon picked up a couple of intriguing undrafted free agents in Clemson wide receiver Aaron Kelly and Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson, both have a shot to make the roster or at least stick with the practice squad.

MEDICAL WATCH: Cornerback David Irons will miss the entire offseason after undergoing knee surgery in October. He's expected back near the beginning of the regular season at the earliest.
