– The Atlanta Falcons opened training camp on Thursday morning in front of a capacity crowd at their training complex in Flowery Branch. It’s a pivotal year for the Falcons, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2017. General manager Terry Fontenot enters his fifth season at the helm, and head coach Raheem Morris enters his second after taking over what was supposed to be a playoff caliber roster. Fontenot’s first draft pick as general manager of the Falcons was former Florida Gators tight end Kyle Pitts.
