DeCoud and Conte had solid NFL careers as safety. Hope Hawkins can keep the trend going.

Kind of surprised since some of the "experts" had Hawk going into the league as an undrafted FA because of "his lack of speed."

Agreed - I think Hawk though will be pretty solid, tho....gonna miss him.

Congrats to Jaylinn! Have I missed Weaver going? I'm rather amazed if he hasn't gone yet.

Jaylinn will definitely make some noise in Atlanta, following Thomas DeCoud's lead...Weaver was a terrific college player, but the 'measurables' don't necessarily impress these Execs. Might not be the worst thing for him to go un-drafted and sign as a FA w/ a specific team that sees a role for him. He can definitely play in the National Football League, or as Troy Aikman says, "our league."
