Falcons announce rookie minicamp roster

With the 2022 NFL Draft and the majority of free agency behind us, the next stop on the offseason calendar is rookie minicamp. The first on-field work for the 2022 iteration of the Atlanta Falcons, rookie minicamp is generally attended by all rookie additions to the roster (both drafted and UDFA) along with a long list of tryout players. In recent years, rookie minicamp has been expanded to allow veteran tryouts along with specific veterans on the roster.

With Falcons rookie minicamp starting very soon—it runs May 13-15—we’ve finally been provided with the full roster, courtesy of the team.

In terms of the drafted rookies and UDFAs, there aren’t any surprises. Those come later on, where we see some reported signings (OL Dare Rosenthal, for example) officially appear as minicamp tryouts. There are also a few notable veterans on the tryout list, like former Packers WR Geronimo Allison and C/G Evan Boehm—a former fourth-round pick and five-year veteran. Read on for the full list of players who will be attending Atlanta’s rookie minicamp this weekend.
