The Atlanta Falcons are hosting two local prospects on top-30 visits ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst and Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller are meeting with the team on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Both players have been popular projections for Atlanta. Hurst, a mid-round prospect, has good size (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) and production (999 receiving yards in 2025). The Falcons need help at wide receiver and Hurst could be an ideal fit in the third or fourth round.
As for Miller, the team would likely jump at the chance to take him in the second round if he's still on the board. The Bulldogs standout is currently ranked as the 37th overall prospect on PFF's big board. Miller's 6-foot-4, 310-pound frame and run-stopping ability would be a massive upgrade for the Falcons' front seven.
A new ESPN feature provided some intel on each team ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Based on what ESPN's Jordan Reid wrote, both Hurst and Miller would fit into the team's draft plans.
"In speaking to league sources connected to Atlanta, one position that has been heavily linked to the Falcons is defensive tackle," wrote Reid. "They have done an extensive amount of work there, but another position that routinely popped into conversation was wide receiver. Even after adding Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus this offseason, the Falcons want a field stretcher at some point on Day 2."
The Falcons currently pick Nos. 48, 79, 122, 215 and 231 following their recent trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. The 2026 NFL Draft officially begins on April 23.
