1) Brandon Boykin looks good, we think

It appears as if Brandon Boykin’s workout with the Atlanta Falcons wen’t according to plan. Dan Quinn said that he looked quick and “Rocked up” which isn’t apart of my every day language. I’m guessing that’s french for, “the workout went well.”

At this point i’d be extremely surprised if the Falcons don’t come to an agreement with Boykin. They showed interest before he signed with the Carolina Panthers and now they’re showing strong interest again. Just sign this man already.

Signing Boykin is smart for two reasons. one, he would fill the hole at corner while Jalen Collins serves his 4-game suspension. and two, he is a good player. The man is 25 years of age and with proper coaching could turn into a solid player in Atlanta.

Let’s hope he’s signed at some point today. There’s a good chance that he’s already signed by the time you read this. Well, at least that would be the plan.
