FAIRHOPE, Ala
– Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin had a strong first practice for the South team. He drew praise for Redskins defensive back coach Raheem Morris after breaking up one pass.
“Nice job Boykin, way to get down hill,” Morris said.
Boykin has interviewed with seven teams already, including the Falcons, Carolina and Philadelphia.
He felt his first day of practice went well.
“I was kind of getting acclimated back in that football shape,” Boykin said. “It was my first time putting the pads on in about a month.”

As the Atlanta Falcons approach the 2012 off-season, one of the most interesting points to follow is how much the Birds roster, which has been extremely stable the last four year, will change.

Fullbacking Future
Is Ovie done in Atlanta? To be honest, when I wrote up the free agent focus article on the running back position, I completely ignored the fullback position. It was an error on my part because it’s a position that is often overlooked, but in the case of the Falcons it certainly will be worth watching this off-season.
New offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter by many accounts prefers...
