It may not totally resemble the first day of college, but there certainly are some similarities. Falcons players checked into the "dorms" Friday -- the official start of Russell Falcons Training Camp.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Falcons will hold Russell Falcons Training Camp at the team’s Flowery Branch headquarters. Atlanta’s 43rd training camp will start July 25 with select morning and afternoon practices open to the public.
Head Coach Mike Smith and his staff entertained area football coaches at Falcons headquarters last Friday for a free tour, dinner and coaches clinic.
The Atlanta Falcons will hold a mandatory mini-camp for veterans and rookies on Saturday, May 10 through Monday, May 12. Two practices on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11 will be open to the public. Monday’s 10:30 a.m. workout is closed to the public.
