What are Atlanta Falcons top 3 under-the-radar training camp battles?

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have several position battles heading into training camp later this month and host Aaron Freeman breaks three that are going under the radar. He discusses the competition at nose tackle, return specialist, and backup guard and why they'll have a bigger impact on the 2024 season than you'd assume. First, he breaks down the glut of defensive linemen and how it will shape out in their rotation. He discusses how deep the rotation will go and if Grady Jarrett will see significant snaps playing nose tackle this year.

Later, he discusses return specialist where Ray-Ray McCloud and Avery Williams are set to compete. He breaks down why he expects both players to be used on returns, McCloud's potential impact on offense, and Williams ability to play on special teams coverage units to help the team with the new kickoff rules.

Finally, he breaks down the team's question mark at backup guard where they have no proven depth option. Will Jovaughn Gwyn take a step in his second year? Will someone else emerge on the Falcons roster or will they be shopping for depth at the end of the summer?
