No matter your opinion on the Falcons drafting Michael Penix Jr. with the 8th overall pick, he’s set up to be the future of the organization.

It’s the biggest storyline coming out of the NFL Draft, and people have every right to question Atlanta’s plan after they also just signed Kirk Cousins to a $180 million contract in free
The hits keep on coming for the Braves. Sean Murphy hasn’t played since the opening series against the Phillies after suffering an oblique injury.
