Jones First Falcon Drafted in Six Years

MAC Defensive Player of the Year Chris Jones has been drafted!  He went to the Houston Texans in the 6th Round, which was certainly on the high end of what was expected for him and a pleasant surprise.  I think it is a good opportunity for one and he has certainly earned it.  We are rooting for him....whether he makes it or not, he's a Falcon Forever.  He gave all he had to this program, was a leader and excelled.

Best of luck, Chris.  We'll be watching.

The last Falcon drafted was Kory Lichtensteiger who continues to play in the NFL for the Redskins.

Update:  there is also word that Jordan Roussos has signed with the Seahawks as an UFDA.
