2025 NFL draft: Falcons hosted Georgia TE Ben Yurosek on pre-draft visit
It’s the final day for pre-draft visits and the Atlanta Falcons are making the most of it so far. On Wednesday, the team was linked to three more 2025 NFL draft prospects, including another Georgia Bulldogs player.
According to multiple reports from the NFL Network, the Falcons recently met with LSU edge Bradyn Swinson, William & Mary offensive lineman Charles Grant and Georgia tight end Ben Yurosek.
While Swinson and Grant would both potentially fill needs for Atlanta, the team has decent depth at the tight end position with Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner and Feleipe Franks on the roster. Yurosek is a mid-round tight end prospect whose involvement in the passing game has decreased over the last two seasons.
The Bulldogs tight end played more of a blocking role in 2024, recording 15 catches for 185 receiving yards. Yurosek’s most productive season came in 2022 when he finished with 49 catches for 444 receiving yards and one touchdown. He could be a good developmental option for the Falcons on Day 3.
Pitts is in the final year of his contract and hasn’t lived up to his top-five pick status over the last few seasons. The fifth-year tight end has been productive when the quarterback play was up to par, but for much of his tenure in Atlanta, that hasn’t been the case.
Those around the team are optimistic that second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will help Pitts reach his full potential after a full offseason together. Check out some of the team’s other recent pre-draft visits below.
