Tua Tagovailoa gets backing as Falcons prepare for training camp

As the Atlanta Falcons gear up for training camp this month, Tua Tagovailoa received strong support from his former Dolphins teammate Patrick Paul, who believes Tagovailoa will emerge as the team's starting quarterback in the competition against Michael Penix Jr. Atlanta's defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus is highlighted as a breakout candidate for the upcoming season after a successful finish last year. Additionally, Chris Lindstrom is recognized as one of the top interior offensive linemen by ESPN, ranking sixth in their latest poll. However, Bleacher Report ranks the Falcons near the bottom of its power rankings at No. 27, citing concerns over the quarterback situation. Former Falcons executive David Bassity has been appointed as senior vice president of communications for the Big Ten Conference.
