Mitchell Evans

I'm going to go and take the yards instead.

The Falcons allowed nearly 65 yards to Steelers tight ends in week one and nearly 60 yards to a combination of Mitchell Evans, Tommy Trumbull, and Darren Waller last week.

And Kraft's up to 95% round participation now.

He's back to a full-time role.

You're talking about A.J. Dillon, who was out there playing wing.

the preseason psycho and doing it so well i think this unit has a chance to be by any measurement involved a top five unit in the league when we're talking about individuals i'll give you one on each side of the ball um jimmy horn's sort of the obvious name i'd look at mitchell evans Tight end Notre Dame.

I know there's a lot been made about the addition of Darren Waller, and he'll give you that component of, you know, he's not Jimmy Graham, but he plays that same type of move spot.

He's, as was told to me by somebody on that team, well, they kept five tight ends.

Well, tight end in name only.

This guy is going to be treated like a receiver.

So that leaves Mitchell Evans in competition with Trimble to get those spots and that what I would call speed 12 personnel.

When you've got that extra tight end who can play in line.

But, uh, I'm gonna go and take the yards instead.

The Falcons allowed nearly 65 yards to Steelers tight ends in week one, and nearly 60 yards to a combination of Mitchell Evans, Tommy Tremble, and Darren Waller last week.

And Kraft's up to 95% route participation now.

He's back to a full-time role.

Tommy's not going to be inactive.

Neither is Mitchell Evans.

So Felipe Franks comes in also as one of your core special teamers.

Where is there room for JT Sanders when any of those guys are healthy? Tommy is your top tight end.

Three tight ends that they play, and so sometimes they're in 12 personnel, sometimes they're in 13 personnel.

They've got Tommy Tremble, they've got Mitchell Evans, and then Darren Waller, who caught two touchdowns last week for them, is still going in his ninth season out of Georgia Tech, even though he started his NFL career back in 2000. and 15 so it is the number one passing offense they are the number one scoring offense Bryce Young second in the league with 648 yards he's first with six touchdowns he's thrown for multiple touchdowns now or produce multiple touchdowns in four straight games dating back to last year he's been just on a very very good level and not only that he already has a rushing touchdown this season as well he had in that game against Chicago he threw for three and ran for one so he has been quite quite good Jonathan Brooks out, so it'll be Hubbard, A.J. Dillon, and then potentially if they sign Austin Eckler.

Now, Austin Eckler, similar to A.J. Dillon, those guys were both good 2021 to 2023.

Not really a whole lot since, but that's where they are there.

Tight end room has, again, remained the same here.

Tommy Trimble, Mitchell Evans.

Darren Waller, though, officially moved into that third slot over JT Sanders and then Felipe Franks.

What is maybe surprising but not is that Felipe Franks is fifth tight end, but he is the one playing on game day and dressing because of visibility with special teams.
