By all accounts, the Atlanta Falcons had an excellent Draft. They addressed what they had to address: the pass rush and secondary.
Now that we are done with the 2025 NFL Draft, teams are signing undrafted free agents. While these players don't grab headlines, they shouldn't be overlooked as plenty of past UDFAs have gone on to have incredible careers.
Atlanta Falcons make moves to sign top undrafted free agents
We have seen plenty of undrafted free agents go on to have excellent careers with the Atlanta Falcons.
Some of those players include Jessie Tuggle, Rolland Lawrence, Brian Finneran, or, more recently, Paul Worrilow, Ryan Schraeder, Brian Poole, and Nate Landman. Could the next name be found this year?
Here are the names who will be in the running for the Dirty Birds:
- Nate Carter, RB, Michigan State
- Nick Nash, WR, San Jose State
- Quincy Skinner, WR, Vanderbilt
- Joshua Simon, TE, South Carolina
- Joshua Gray, OG, Oregon State
- Jordan Williams, OT, Georgia Tech
- Simeon Barrow, DL, Miami
- Nick Kubitz, LB, North Dakota State
- Dontae Manning, CB, Oregon
Nick Nash, a six-foot-three wide receiver out of San Jose State, is the crown jewel here. Nash easily should've been drafted—Falcons hit big with this signing. His 4.57 forty-yard dash hurt his stock, but NFL.com projected him to go in Round 5. He led all of FBS last season with 104 catches for 1,382 yards and 16 touchdowns. Hard to understand how he wasn't selected.
In addition, they extended rookie minicamp invites to the following players:
- Seven McGee, WR, Albany
- Marlon Taylor Jr., DT, UT-Chattanooga
- Kevin Hester Jr., DT, North Carolina
- Kristan Story, S, Kentucky
There will be more signings and invites as the hours and days pass.
