The Atlanta Falcons held their rookie minicamp over the weekend, allowing their 2026 NFL Draft class a chance to make a good first impression on the coaching staff. The team signed 14 undrafted free agents, including three talented wide receivers prospects.
The Falcons have also been playing UDFA running back Cash Jones at wide receiver, highlighting just how big of a need they had at the position entering the draft. Due to this lack of depth, the team's three undrafted wide receivers have a realistic shot at making the roster.
In our latest Falcons undrafted free agent profile, we take a look at former Minnesota Golden Gophers wide receiver Le'Meke Brockington.
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 has good burst and strength as a receiver. Brockington even set a school record for wide receivers by squatting over 600 pounds.
"Brockington had a team-leading 46 catches for 484 yards last season, showing he can be a reliable option after years of run blocking and a brief interlude recovering from a fractured leg," wrote Andrew Krammer of the Minnesota Star Tribune. "Brockington reportedly squatted a Gophers program-record 664 pounds for a receiver."
The Falcons officially signed their 2026 undrafted free agent class on Thursday evening, agreeing to terms with 14 players. Check out the full list of Falcons UDFA signings below.
