Atlanta's been given a deep roster, especially in the secondary. Hodges-Tomlinson won the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to college football's best defensive back, while Garner has a chance to be a top-50 pick.

The defensive line is also stout, as Coburn, Stills, Enechukwu and Turner all provide pass rush juice on the interior while Ojomo, Mathis, Ramirez and Beal can get after it off the edge. Martin is one of the bigger-bodied nose tackles in the class at 6-5, 330 pounds.

Offensively, the receiver group is noteworthy, as Perry and Cropper have been highly regarded while there's good depth behind them.

A notable connection is the offensive tackle Reid, who played under Falcons offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford at Louisville and is extremely athletic.

The Shrine Bowl presents a prime opportunity for the Falcons to get an up-close look at several draftable players, and with the talent on the East roster, it's certainly possible some of these names will be in Atlanta come late April.
