Tim Mazetti Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Signed after practice. Made a great impression, I would reckon. Will McFadden AtlantaFalcons.com FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Throughout two days of rookie minicamp practice players sought to make an impact on the Falcons' coaching staff, and it appears former Oregon running back Tony Brooks-James did just that. RELATED CONTENT Minicamp takeaways: Day 1 | Day 2 Following their final practice on Saturday, the Falcons announced that they have signed Brooks-James. One of the standouts during practice, Brooks-James broke off several big runs, slipping through the hole and showcasing his exceptional speed in the open field. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound running back had a versatile role during his college career at Oregon. Brooks-James carried the ball 283 times for 1,863 yards and 18 touchdowns; he also caught 40 passes for 392 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Outside of his offensive duties, Brooks-James returned 44 kicks during his time at Oregon for 1,047 yards and a score. In a corresponding move, the team announced that they have waived/injured running back Jeremy Langford. Langford joined the Falcons' practice squad late last season, and he was later added to the active roster, appearing in Atlanta's season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 8ball N M.J.C., Flying Falcon, Ergo Proxy and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWFALCON Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It was a matter of time before Langford was waves. I think Ortiz will be the next victim. Ergo Proxy, Tim Mazetti and atljbo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearljamnash13 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Having played against oregon while at oregon state I hate pretty much every Duck. However, this kid is explosive. Their entire team is a track team. They don’t look like football players. They play fast. He will never be a real running back. He’s a special teams monster waiting to happen.

hjerry Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The major question with this kid is going to be physicality Like he's fast fine but can he run through the tackles Can he take a big hit from the side and not be surely out for the season afterwards Tim Mazetti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one just plays KR; that’s just a STs role for another position. Otherwise it’ll look funny carrying 5 “RBs”.
