Atlanta Falcons Strategy and Personnel 2009-05-08


Atlanta Falcons Strategy and Personnel 2009-05-08
Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson was one of the more interesting undrafted free agents that the Falcons signed.


He was a prep legend, leading Hoover High to three straight state championships and had the Crimson Tide in the hunt for a national championship last season.

At 6-1 1/2, 219 pounds, he has size but will have to refine his footwork to land a roster spot.

Behind Matt Ryan are Chris Redman and D.J. Shockley. Wilson figures to have a shot at the No. 3 spot if the Falcons elect to go with Redman or Shockley as the No. 2.

MEDICAL WATCH:

--Tight end Ben Hartsock (toe) has been participating in offseason weight training and was cleared to participate in minicamp. He ended the season on injured reserve.

--Offensive guard/center Alex Stepanovich had back surgery and was not cleared for minicamp.

--Cornerback Von Hutchins (broken foot) was limited in minicamp, but expected to be fully cleared for Organized Training Activities that start on May 20.
