Falcons quarterback Feleipe Franks could be exploring a position change based on his recent activity at Atlanta’s preseason workouts.
The former SEC signal-caller was reportedly working out as a tight end at Falcons OTAs on Friday, according to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein. He donned a white jersey during the workout, instead of the traditional red jersey worn by quarterbacks at practice.
Franks is still listed as a quarterback on Atlanta’s roster, but his path to playing time under center would be a difficult one. The Falcons signed veteran Marcus Mariota to a two-year deal earlier this offseason before selecting former Cincinnati star Desmond Ridder in the third round of the 2022 draft.
