INDIANAPOLIS — The on-field testing portion of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine begins Thursday, allowing teams and fans to measure the athleticism of the top prospects in this year's draft.
The Falcons will keep a close eye on the activities as they prepare for their first draft under a new leadership structure that includes general manager Ian Cunningham and head coach Kevin Stefanski. Cunningham was part of Super Bowl-winning groups with the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens, while Stefanksi is a two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Together, they will be tasked with building a roster that gets Atlanta back into the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
