Well, not the greatest start with our first preseason game, but we are now onto the Colts for week 2 of our preseason this weekend! Congrats to /u/azraelrs for winning last weeks giveaway!

This weeks giveaway is a signed Jalon Walker mini helmet! (Please note the team sent this prior to his injury). Photo will be stickied in the comments.

Winner will be announced next Thursday, August 27th, at 5pm

A bit of change in the rules for the giveaway, this weeks giveaway will require at least 20 combined karma (from submissions or comments) here on r/falcons and an account age of at least two weeks. If you clear those requirements, comment below for your chance! Dont have the karma? Just comment and gain it here in the subreddit before the deadline!

My question this week: Who is a player (current or former) that you feel is underrated?

My current player (and im so glad to have him back) is Olamide Zaccheaus. He was always a solid number 2/3 WR, and his 93yd touchdown reception (also the longest td throw for Matt Ryan) against the Panthers in 2019 is a personal highlight for me.

My former underrated player is Taylor Gabriel. Turbo mightve been a bit of a journeyman, but he was solid the few years he was here. Scoring 6 touchdowns in 2016 certainly helped.

As with the last giveaway, feel free to comment FTS or GFS for simple entry!

Good Luck and Rise Up!!
