What To Look For At Training Camp For The Falcons originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Falcons go into 2025 with some very high expectations, and there is a lot to look for when they reach training camp. It all starts with how the rookies adjust to their first training camps as pros and how they handle joint practices.
The team has the highest expectations they have had since making the super bowl back in 2026, and all of that has to do with the young talent they have drafted over the last five seasons. Each of those players will have more to prove than anything this season, and training camp is where to start.
After minicamp, the Falcons made some small moves like signing running back Jashaun Corbin, as well as releasing Jase McClellan. Besides that, the Falcons have not been too active recently in the trade market or free agent market.
The main things to look for at training camp is mainly how the young guys play and how they show their strengths right away. It will also be important to look at weaknesses and what to work on before the season begins.
Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. will look to both be in the running for defensive rookie of the year, as they both have looked good so far since the draft. Rookies Xavier Watts and Billy Bowman Jr. are also looking good and hoping to be starters in 2025.
The Falcons will most importantly also look for how Michael Penix Jr. adjusts to the offense and how he utilizes his weapons. It will be valuable to the Falcons if he can get adjusted to the offense pretty quickly.
There will always be a lot to look for, but these are the most important for now, as we reach training camp and the 2025 season.
