The Atlanta Falcons added a handful of wide receivers to their roster during the offseason, but aside from Drake London, this group is largely unproven. The team signed Olamide Zaccheaus and Jahan Dotson, both of whom finished with less than 400 receiving yards last season.
This uncertainty behind London will give the team's four rookie wide receivers a chance to make an impact during off-season workouts and training camp. Third-round pick Zachariah Branch is a lock to make the roster, but the Falcons' three UDFA wide receivers should be in the mix as well.
As the team wraps up its final few OTAs, let's take a closer look at former Minnesota wide receiver Le'Meke Brockington in today's Falcons Wire UDFA spotlight.
Brockington's 2025 season was the best of his collegiate career, finishing with 484 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound wideout appeared in 45 games for the Golden Gophers, recording 80 total catches for 1,042 receiving yards.
The former Minnesota standout also has some kick return ability, which is a common trait of many of the team's latest wide receiver additions. Brockington averaged 26.8 yards per kick return over his four collegiate seasons. While his production at wide receiver was somewhat underwhelming, he has several traits that could translate to the NFL.
He doesn't have elite speed but he's quick and has elite strength for a receiver. Brockington reportedly even set a school record for wide receivers by squatting over 600 pounds. Minnesota offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh also pointed out Brockington's blocking ability.
“If you really study our tape, you will know that Le’Meke is extremely valuable to what we do schematically,” said Harbaugh. “The things he does in the run game. He might not always be getting the ball because he might be the point of attack with a block.”
While Brockington may not have an easy path to the Falcons' 53-man roster, his all-around skill set and special teams contributions should give him a fighting chance. Here's a clip of the former Minnesota standout showing his athleticism on a catch against Cal.
