The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for an action-packed weekend as they host 23 players for tryouts at their rookie minicamp, running from Friday, May 8, through Sunday, May 10. After a relatively quiet week, the team made headlines on Thursday night by signing 14 undrafted free agents and four members of their 2026 NFL Draft class, setting the stage for a competitive camp.
Joining the tryout players and undrafted free agents are three current Falcons roster members—tight end Josh Simons, cornerback AJ Woods, and linebacker Malik Verdon—who will be participating in the minicamp to sharpen their skills. Additionally, two veteran players, offensive lineman Layden Robinson and defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, will be vying for a spot during the tryouts, adding experience and depth to the mix.
Among the tryout hopefuls, wide receivers Malik Rutherford and Andrel Anthony were initially listed as undrafted free agent signings but will need to earn their place on the roster through their performance this weekend. This minicamp represents a crucial opportunity for these athletes to showcase their talent and potentially secure a spot on the Falcons' squad.
The Falcons' undrafted free agent signings include a diverse group of talent: quarterback Jack Strand, running back Cash Jones, wide receivers Vinny Anthony II, Le’Meke Brockington, and Keelan Marion, offensive linemen Riley Mahlman, James Brockermeyer, and Kam Dewberry, tight ends Jack Velling and Brandon Frazier, defensive linemen CJ Nunnally IV and Carlos Allen Jr., cornerback Malcolm DeWalt, and long snapper Philip Florenzo. With such a strong pool of players, the Falcons are building for the future, and this minicamp is the first step in shaping the team's roster for the upcoming season.
