The Atlanta Falcons have continuously made moves throughout the offseason. Everything started with free agency which kicked off with a bang for the franchise and now we are seeing the addition of the young talent through the draft.

The depth chart is going to continue to change after the draft. There are still free agents available and some players will become available via trade.

As the draft continues through nights two and three, here is an updated look at how the Falcons' depth chart looks.

Falcons updated depth chart through 2024 NFL Draft: Special Teams

Kicker:

  1. Younghoe Koo

Punter:

  1. Bradley Pinion

Holder:

  1. Liam McCullough

Punt returner:

  1. Ray-Ray McCloud (Signing)
  2. Avery Williams

Kick returner:

  • Ray-Ray McCloud (Signing)
  • Avery Williams

Would like to note that Ray-Ray McCloud and Avery Williams at punt returner will represent one of the most hotly-contested training camp battles on this team. Both have excellent track records as returners. Ray-Ray was given the edge because of the assumption that he was targeted in free agency for his return ability and Williams is coming off of a season-ending injury.

As for the kick returner spot, under the new kickoff rules, teams will likely elect to have two returners lined up. Having Williams and McCloud back there would be extremely dangerous.
