Falcons 'Have an Interest' in Georgia DL Zion Logue

Logue was impressive at his pro day workout and will likely be selected late Day 3, per Sportskeeda. 

"Defensive tackle Zion Logue looked athletic in drills," Sportskeeda wrote. "Teams believe he was underused at Georgia and is a sixth- or seventh-round pick who comes with large upside."

Logue, a native of Lebanon, Tennessee, arrived in Athens in 2019 and played in 50 games over his five-year career. He saw action in 43 contests across the past three years.

For his career, the 6-5, 310-pound Logue recorded 52 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass deflections and a forced fumble.

At February's NFL Combine, Logue ran a 5.14 40-yard dash paired with a 1.82 10-yard split. He had a 29" vertical jump, 9'1" broad jump and 4.92 20-yard shuttle.

Here's NFL.Com's scouting report on Logue ...

"With one year as a full-time starter, Logue is still inexperienced despite staying for five years at Georgia. He has good size and length but average body composition.

He rarely reads early block movement and finds himself on the wrong side of move blocks a disappointingly high number of times, despite decent initial quickness.

Logue just doesn't have a go-to skill set that allows him to stand out." - NFL Draft analyst Lance Zierlein.

Since Terry Fontenot became Atlanta's general manager in January 2021, the Falcons have drafted two Georgia players - tight end John FitzPatrick and offensive guard Justin Shaffer, both on Day 3 in 2022.

It's possible Logue adds to that tally - and gives Atlanta a big-bodied presence on the interior of its defense.
