Tyler Starr is definitely a player to watch in the last preseason game. As a rookie in 2014, Starr made the practice squad and has shown a lot of improvement thus far in 2015. Starr has received a lot of reps in the preseason this year and forced an interception against the Dolphins after a great rush and pass deflection.

It seems that Starr is a  much better fit under Dan Quinn and has a decent shot at making the 53-man roster for 2015. However, Starr will still need a great game against the Ravens in order to solidify his spot on the team. If he were to make the team, don’t expect him to play on defense, but he will be an active member on the Falcons’ special teams unit.
