Falcons' John Cominsky to have increased role
Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman John Cominsky will have an increased role this upcoming season, per head coach Dan Quinn.
The Falcons traded up in last year's draft to take Cominsky in the fourth round, but he played just 100 defensive snaps as a rookie and failed to make an impact. Vic Beasley and Adrian Clayborn have since signed elsewhere, creating an opportunity for Cominsky to emerge as a starter.
Cominsky recorded 0.5 sacks, 2 quarterback hits, 2 hurries, and 3 pressures over 10 appearances last season. There's obviously only a limited sample size to work with, but Cominsky did receive the 23rd-highest grade (82.1) on Pro Football Focus among 145 edge defenders to log 100-plus defensive snaps.
