April 28, 200520 yr A pretty good low-risk pickup. He's got tons of talent, but huge injury concerns. I've really liked our RB UDFA pickups.
April 28, 200520 yr T.A. McLendon signs as Falcons free agent Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. - Oft-injured North Carolina State running back T-A McClendon has signed as a rookie free agent with the Atlanta Falcons, but there's a line ahead of him for a roster spot. McClendon gave up his final year of eligibility to make himself available for the N-F-L draft, but he was never selected. He scored 35 touchdowns for the Wolfpack, good enough for third-best in school history, but injuries stymied his progress. McClendon missed one game as a freshman, when he was named the A-C-C rookie of the year and first-team all-conference after finishing with eleven-hundred-and-one yards rushing and 16 touchdowns. He missed four more games as a sophomore, then struggled with shoulder and hamstring ailments last season. Atlanta was the top running team in the N-F-L last season thanks to quarterback Michael Vick, and running backs Warrick Dunn and T-J Duckett. The Falcons also picked running back DeAndra Cobb of Michigan State in the sixth round. http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctime...ts/11485338.htm :blink:

April 29, 200520 yr Im surprised that Jamaal Brimmer wasn't drafted. He used to be a top safety. I wonder what happened. Could be a steal.
