Atlanta Falcons Newcomers Receive Jersey Assignments

The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for a big week. The marquee event of the NFL’s offseason is coming up on Thursday, and the eyes of the league will focus on that. However, another important thing popped up for the Falcons on Monday: the newcomers picked their numbers.

While more will come later this week, the Falcons have already added 23 new players to their roster by trade or by free agency. Each of these players will carry a significant load for the franchise this fall, but now they know which number they will wear while doing that.
