The Scouting Combine technically kicked off yesterday, but that was mostly arrivals and weigh-ins, so we’re going to pretend it actually started today. That’s the ticket.
Here’s the key information you need, a link out to SB Nation’s full and thorough list of prospect invites, and my thoughts on what the Falcons need to focus on. Chiefly, I’m looking for Atlanta to show a keen interest in fast, physical players at positions of need, which is all we really care about at the end of the day.
Here’s what you’ll need to know.
