Jalen Collins has been getting a lot of attention so far in the Falcons training camp, and not all of it good.
He has struggled, and been coached up loud enough and often enough that the media have taken notice.
An ESPN article featured Collins struggles so far in camp, a list that includes getting burned a few times on the field and having to match up with star WR Julio Jones. Luckily for him he will only see Julio Jones in practice.

In a video posted on the Atlanta Journal Constitution website new Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn has some complimentary things to say about Collins and confirmed that he will see a lot of action early on in Atlanta’s preseason games.
The Score Atlanta site is more positive, noting that the Falcons expect Collins to make an immediate impact and that will start in their Friday Night Preseason game against the Titans.
