Though 2024 might be different, the Atlanta Falcons have long come under fire for rejecting University of Georgia athletes in the NFL Draft.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Atlanta Falcons have “spent time with” Georgia defensive tackle Zion Logue and “have an interest” in acquiring his services, according to Sportskeeda.
During the previous season, Logue participated in all 14 Bulldog games, making 10 starts, and totaling 17 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks.
Logue was impressive at his pro day workout and will likely be selected late Day 3, per Sportskeeda.
“Defensive tackle Zion Logue looked athletic in drills,” Sportskeeda wrote. “Teams believe he was underused at Georgia and is a sixth- or seventh-round pick who comes with large upside.”
Logue, a native of Lebanon, Tennessee, arrived in Athens in 2019 and played in 50 games over his five-year career. He saw action in 43 contests across the past three years.
For his career, the 6-5, 310-pound Logue recorded 52 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass deflections and a forced fumble.
At February’s NFL Combine, Logue ran a 5.14 40-yard dash paired with a 1.82 10-yard split. He had a 29″ vertical jump, 9’1″ broad jump and 4.92 20-yard shuttle.
Here’s NFL.Com’s scouting report on Logue …
Since Terry Fontenot became Atlanta’s general manager in January 2021, the Falcons have drafted two Georgia players – tight end John FitzPatrick and offensive guard Justin Shaffer, both on Day 3 in 2022.
It’s possible Logue adds to that tally – and gives Atlanta a big-bodied presence on the interior of its defense.
Sportskeeda reports that Logue impressed with his pro day practice and will probably be chosen late on Day 3.
Sportskeeda noted, “Defensive tackle Zion Logue looked athletic in drills.” “Teams believe he was underused at Georgia and is a sixth- or seventh-round pick who comes with large upside.”
Logue, a 2019 arrival from Lebanon, Tennessee, participated in 50 games during his five-year tenure in Athens. He participated in 43 games during the previous three years.
Over the course of his career, the 310-pound, 6-5 Logue recorded 52 tackles, 1.5 sacks, three pass deflections, and a forced fumble.
Logue performed a 5.14 40-yard sprint and a 1.82 10-yard split at the NFL Combine in February. 29″ was his vertical leap, 9’1″ was his broad jump, and his 20-yard shuttle time was 4.92.
