Falcons QB competition focuses on Tua Tagovailoa ahead of training camp

The Atlanta Falcons are set to begin their first training camp practice on July 29 under new head coach Kevin Stefanski. Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are competing for the starting quarterback role, with many analysts favoring Tagovailoa. CBS Sports projects him to pass for 3,460 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions if he secures the starting job. Tagovailoa's past season included 15 interceptions and saw his release from the Dolphins earlier in the offseason. Atlanta's quarterback competition will be closely monitored as camp progresses.
