2) Mike Person – C/G

No more bad snaps by Mike Person in 2016! Say it with me! Of the players that saw extensive playing time in 2015, Person will be one of the ones that hardly ever sees the field in 2016. And while we’re a ways a way from training camp, he might not even be on the roster by the time the season rolls around.

Person was atrocious in 2016 as the Falcons’ starting center. He alone cost the Falcons a game or two due to his inability to snap a football but luckily those days are behind us. the Falcons signed his replacement, Alex Mack and that couldn’t put a bigger smile on my face.

Mack is a three-time pro bowl center. Person is not. That’s really all that needs to be said. So let’s all say thank you to the Falcons to signing Mack so that we can see Person riding the bench, if not the unemployment line.
