Jalen Mayfield Goes To Falcons At 68 Overall
4 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons selected Michigan offensive lineman Jalen Mayfield with the No. 68 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Mayfield has positional flexibility along the offensive line and has a good initial burst. The Falcons are looking to give quarterback Matt Ryan some more protection with the selection of the 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman. Mayfield is at his best when he's asked to get out and lead block because of his athleticism and explosiveness. He'll need some refinement on some of his techniques, but he has a very high ceiling at either tackle or inside at guard.
