Falcons QB Prediction Draws Unproven Top-5 Pick Comp

Atlanta, Georgia - On August 14, 2026, the Atlanta Falcons faced the Denver Broncos in an NFL preseason game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game featured a quarterback competition between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr., both of whom are expected to compete for starting positions in the upcoming 2027 season. Draft Sharks' Shane Hallam made a prediction that the Falcons may draft South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers with the No. 7 overall pick, suggesting that the current quarterback situation might not yield positive results for Head Coach Kevin Stefanski.

LaNorris Sellers, who has completed 63.4% of his passes for 5,057 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions over the past three seasons, would represent a significant investment for the Falcons, especially if neither Tagovailoa nor Penix pan out as the team's future franchise quarterback.
