Falcons rookie QB Strand excels in preseason game against Colts

Jack Strand, the Atlanta Falcons' undrafted rookie quarterback, showcased impressive skills in Saturday's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, contributing to a 34-6 victory. Strand threw for 212 yards, featuring one touchdown and achieving a passer rating of 132.5. Despite his strong performance, questions arose regarding why he went undrafted. NFL analyst Thor Nystrom noted that a college coach suggested Strand could have been a top-3 draft pick had he accepted NIL deals to play at a larger school. Looking ahead, Strand's performance in the Falcons' upcoming preseason game against the Miami Dolphins will be closely watched.
