Falcons players and cheerleaders were present for a Thanksgiving luncheon at South Hall Middle School Tuesday afternoon.
The Falcons starting offensive linemen turned some heads last season, allowing a franchise-low 17 sacks. Now the team looks for some depth along the front and the next crop of linemen.
Running back Michael Turner got the bulk of the carries last season but consistency along the offensive line could be what makes the Falcons a steady leader in rushing offense.
The Atlanta Falcons today signed third round draft pick cornerback Christopher Owens and fifth round selection offensive tackle Garrett Reynolds. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed. The Falcons also released offensive lineman Renardo Foster and kicker/punter Robbie Dehaze.
The Atlanta Falcons selected eight new players in the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25 and 26, 2009.
