The Falcons, while not expected to pursue a quarterback in the upcoming draft due to Kirk Cousins’ presence on the roster, will eventually need to consider life beyond Cousins. General Manager Terry Fontenot and Head Coach Raheem Morris understand the importance of grooming a successor, especially after witnessing the consequences of lacking a plan, as exemplified by teams like the Eagles.
While the team’s focus may currently be on other positions, the 2025 quarterback class offers promising talents that could be of interest to the Falcons. Deion Sanders, discussing his sons’ potential NFL careers, expressed a preference for certain teams, including the Falcons, among those where he would approve of their playing.
Sanders reminisced about the significance of Atlanta in his own career and expressed a desire for his sons to experience a similar fit. Shedeur Sanders, a dual-threat quarterback, could potentially succeed Cousins and bring renewed excitement to Atlanta. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter, a versatile player, could address multiple needs for the Falcons, potentially as a cornerback and wide receiver.
While speculative, the prospect of Prime Time returning to Atlanta through his sons’ NFL careers is an exciting thought for fans.
