The Atlanta Falcons selected potentially the best center in the 2020 draft with their third-round pick. Temple’s Matt Hennessy fills an immediate need for the Falcons at left guard and as a potential long-term replacement for center Alex Mack.
Since signing in Atlanta back in 2016, Mack has been a model of consistency. He’s played in every game and was a key part of the team’s rise to contender status.
Hennessy hopes to reach the heights of Mack one day. The Falcons rookie lineman has actually looked up to team’s Pro Bowl center for some time. Watch Hennessy speak about his admiration for Mack growing up, as shared by the team’s Twitter account below:
Growing up, @matt__hennessy looked up to @alexmack51.
Now, he gets to play alongside him. pic.twitter.com/6kBg0wIkG7
