The Atlanta Falcons began training camp on Thursday with several questions in their secondary.
hit the field for Day 1 of training camp at IBM Performance Field in Flowery Branch, Ga, and there are already two storylines making waves on the defensive side of the football. According to Falcons on SI'sthe players taking first reps at CB2 and the safety position beside Jessie Bates III are already turning some heads.
While he had a relatively uneventful first year for the Falcons, it seems he is getting the first crack at the CB2 position over second-year talentThere is plenty of time in camp for this to change, but now, the veteran has the upper hand. Additionally, another player in the secondary is getting a shot at first-team reps before others, which may come as a surprise to some.The four-year veteran was also seen as the first safety rolled out onto the field besides Bates III.
It will be interesting to see what the veteran can do in a new-look defense. The Falcons still have plenty of untapped potential in their former starter; it is possible their new defensive coordinator could unlock it.
