Atlanta Falcons har sikret sig en offensiv kraftpakke med det 79. samlede valg i NFL-draftens tredje runde. Holdet har valgt wide receiver Zachariah Branch fra University of Georgia, som nu vender tilbage til Peach State efter sine collegeår.
Branch begyndte sin collegekarriere på USC, hvor han som freshman i 2023 gjorde sig bemærket som en farlig return specialist. Han scorede blandt andet på en 75-yard punt return og en 96-yard kickoff return – begge touchdowns.
Efter transfer til Georgia i 2025 udviklede Branch sig til en nøglespiller i angrebet. Han blev kåret til Anden All-SEC hold og førte ligaen i receptions med 81 catches for 811 yards og seks touchdowns i sæsonen.
Med Branch i truppen styrker Falcons deres offensive lineup, som allerede tæller stjerner som Bijan Robinson, Drake London og Kyle Pitts. Den unge receiver forventes at tilføre hastighed og alsidighed til angrebet.
