The newest member of the Atlanta Falcons is Peter Konz out of Wisconsin who was taken at No. 55 overall and he is going to be a key player for the Falcons on the offensive line.
Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff let it be known that Konz was selected because he is a versatile offensive lineman that can play multiple positions:
"I can't emphasize enough how important it is Konz can play both guard & center. We have him listed as a Guard-Center."
Dimitroff also talked about how Konz can help out in short-yardage and goal line running plays:
"We need to make sure we have the right people protecting 'deuce,' as well as helping in short yardage runs."
