The Atlanta Falcons have now officially signed half of their 2023 NFL draft class. After inking Texas running back Bijan Robinson and Alabama safety DeMarcco Hellams on Thursday, the team signed offensive lineman Jovaughn Gwyn on Friday afternoon, per Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney.

Gwyn, a seventh-round pick out of South Carolina, will look to add depth to the guard position. The Falcons also drafted guard Matthew Bergeron in the second round, but the Syracuse standout is one of three rookies who have yet to sign a contract.

The other two unsigned rookies are third-round pick Zach Harrison and fourth-round pick Clark Phillips III.

The #Falcons selected offensive lineman Jovaughn Gwyn with their final pick in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft

The Atlanta Falcons have finished assembling their 2023 NFL draft class, selecting South Carolina offensive lineman Jovaughn Gwyn with their final pick on Day 3.

Gwyn played mostly at right guard during his college career, but he’s expected to move to center. Atlanta could use some depth on the interior of the offensive line, especially to compete with Drew Dalman at center.

The Falcons selected Syracuse offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron in the second round, and he is expected to compete for a starting role at left guard this season. Gwyn was rated as prospect No. 363 on the Pro Football Focus big board.
