The Falcons have been suspiciously quiet over the past week when it comes to discussing their intentions in the 2021 NFL draft. Atlanta did make headlines on Monday, though, when general manager Terry Fontenot confirmed that the team has been receiving trade offers for All-Pro receiver Julio Jones.
Since no trade involving Jones can happen until June 1 due to salary cap reasons, the focus is back on the draft. On Wednesday, Fontenot and Falcons head coach Arthur Smith gave their pre-draft press conference.
Watch below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account. Plus, check back after for our takeaways from the presser.
