The Atlanta Falcons are on break until training camp and host Aaron Freeman breaks down who he thinks will be the 53 players poised to make the team’s roster when they return. He discusses the lack of starting competitions on offense, which will lead to the most compelling camp battle being at quarterback between rookie Michael Penix and veteran Taylor Heinicke for the right to be Kirk Cousins’s backup. Will the Falcons carry all three quarterbacks on the roster? And why will the competition for backup offensive linemen matter in 2024 more than any other skill position? Later, he looks at the open competitions at cornerback and safety to discuss who will start opposite A.J. Terrell and Jessie Bates. Will it be Clark Phillips or Mike Hughes? Richie Grant or DeMarcco Hellams? He also discusses the potential roster battles for depth spots in the secondary before turning his attention to the front seven on defense. He discusses why nose tackle is the only spot that is likely to be an open starting competition when camp begins in July. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be competition to be a bigger part of the team’s rotation up front. How big a role will their rookies have?
