Falcons UDFA class: Breaking down all 5 wide receivers

The Atlanta Falcons selected just one wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft, but since it was arguably their biggest positional need, they added several more undrafted prospects after Day 3 ended. The Falcons have signed 16 undrafted free agents thus far, including five total wide receivers.

Obviously, all five receivers won't make the team, but there's a chance that one or two could sneak onto the 53-man roster if they play well in training camp. While the team's UDFA class has yet to be formally announced, we thought it would be a good time to examine some of the reported signings.

Here's a look at the five undrafted wide receivers that the Falcons have reportedly agreed to terms with.

WR Vinny Anthony, Wisconsin

  • 2025 Stats: 31 catches, 391 yards, 1 TD

The 6-foot, 190-pound wideout had better numbers during his 2024 season (39 catches for 672 receiving yards and four touchdowns), which could be why he went undrafted. The former Badgers wideout should add some competition in the slot while bringing some much-needed kick return ability (1,075 career kick return yards and one touchdown). According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Anthony was guaranteed $265,000 to sign with the Falcons. 

WR Malik Rutherford, Georgia Tech

  • 2025 Stats: 46 catches, 523 yards, 3 TD

Rutherford spent his entire collegiate career at Georgia Tech, recording 182 receptions for 2,014 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over five seasons (2021-2025). While he doesn't have a ton of experience as a return man, Rutherford returned a few kicks in college. At 5-foot-9, he projects as a slot receiver in the NFL. Last season, Rutherford recorded 46 catches for 523 yards and three touchdowns.

WR Le’Meke Brockington, Minnesota

  • 2025 Stats: 46 catches, 484 yards, 4 TD

Brockington's 2025 season was the best of his collegiate career, finishing with 484 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot, 195-pound wideout appeared in 45 games for the Golden Gophers, recording 80 total catches for 1,042 receiving yards. Brockington averaged 26.8 yards per kick return during his four seasons at Minnesota.

WR Keelan Marion, Miami

  • 2025 Stats: 57 catches, 746 yards, 2 TD

Marion began his career at Connecticut, recording 32 catches for 563 receiving yards over two seasons before transferring to BYU in 2021. After failing to make much of an impact with the Cougars, Marion transferred to Miami and had his best season yet. He finished the year with 57 catches for a career-high 746 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Marion, like the others on this list, has experience as a kick returner (50 career returns for 1,174 yards and two touchdowns).

WR Andrel Anthony, Duke

  • 2025 Stats: 26 catches, 246 yards, 5 TD

Anthony began his college career at Michigan before transferring to Oklahoma in 2023, and eventually to Duke in 2025. His best season was his 2023 campaign with the Sooners, recording 27 catches for 429 receiving yards and one touchdown. Last season, Anthony had 26 receptions for 246 receiving yards and five touchdowns for the Blue Devils. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound wide receiver is taller than most of the receivers on this list. In terms of return experience, Anthony has just one career kick return for 21 yards.
