Report: Falcons sending more personnel to Lance's 2nd pro day
As the Atlanta Falcons continue to weigh their options with the fourth overall pick, they're set to be heavily represented in an upcoming quarterback workout.
Atlanta will send three members of its personnel to Trey Lance's second pro day Monday, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The attending staff will be a different set from the one that observed Lance's first pro day, Pelissero adds. This will give the Falcons six sets of eyes for one of the 2021 class' top passing prospects, similar to how the club handled Justin Fields' workouts.
The first three picks April 29 are expected to be quarterbacks, with the Jacksonville Jaguars selecting Trevor Lawrence and the New York Jets landing Zach Wilson. Mac Jones has been reported as the favorite to join the San Francisco 49ers third overall, though the team is also considering Fields.
As a result, Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot could make it four signal-callers in a row or nab the highest non-quarterback on his board.
Atlanta is reportedly open to trading the fourth overall selection and has engaged in exploratory talks with clubs looking to move up. Star tight end Kyle Pitts could also interest the franchise if it stays put.
