The Atlanta Falcons can not depend on gossip and rumour. They need to develop their very own angle of opinion on Matt Corral. So …
If you’re a fan of Ole Miss, you doubtless view standout quarterback Corral as one thing simply this aspect of “heroic.”
If, nevertheless, you might be an nameless NFL supply of SI insider Albert Breer?
Your view appears to be terrible. Ugly. One thing simply this aspect of “vicious.”
A sampling of Breer’s sourced feedback …
“He’s type of a multitude. …”
“He received right into a struggle with one in every of Wayne Gretzky’s children in highschool that led to his transferring, and there’d been questions on his maturity his first couple of years at Ole Miss …”

To be honest, Breer additionally finds some NFL feedback which are much less adverse relating to Corral. And together with these issues, Corral nonetheless stays one of many high QB prospects on this yr’s class. His excellent profession with Ole Miss has him in place as a doable first-round choose. … but additionally probably as simply the fourth QB chosen, and possibly not till the second spherical. (To the Seattle Seahawks, possibly?)
It’s true that Corral at 6-2 and 212 doesn’t possess a huge body. Additionally it is true that he performs with a “reckless model” that some groups may view as an indication of his want. And at 23, we do not argue he is received rising as much as do.
In the meantime … We all know the Washington Commanders have checked out QB with a excessive choose, although they’re now whispering that possibly Carson Wentz is one thing greater than “only a bridge QB.” And we all know the Falcons have visited with Corral as properly and “need to draft a QB.” (Which means, principally, Malik Willis.)
However when does Atlanta have to try this? It would not need to be in Spherical 1. That go to might have cleared up all the things for the Falcons relating to Matt Corral – and the “clearing up” would not need to be fairly as darkish because the nameless sources have painted it.
