The Atlanta Falcons signed 16 undrafted free agents, including wide receiver Malik Rutherford from Georgia Tech, to address their needs at the position. Rutherford had 46 catches for 523 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2025.
The Atlanta Falcons only had six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they compensated for their lack of draft capital by agreeing to terms with 16 undrafted free agents. The team's UDFA class shows just how big of a hole Atlanta had at the wide receiver position.
Five of the Falcons' undrafted free agents were wide receivers, accounting for nearly one-third of the team's total UDFA signings. After looking at Vinny Anthony and Keelan Marion, today we will examine Georgia Tech wide receiver Malik Rutherford.
The Yellow Jackets standout spent his entire collegiate career at Georgia Tech, recording 182 receptions for 2,014 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over five seasons (2021-2025). While he doesn't have a ton of experience as a return man, Rutherford returned a few kicks in college. At 5-foot-9, he projects as a slot receiver in the NFL.
Last season, Rutherford recorded 46 catches for 523 yards and three touchdowns at Georgia Tech. Atlanta needs some help at slot receiver and the local product could help provide some if he makes a good impression during training camp.
"Rutherford finished his collegiate career ranked second in Georgia Tech history with 182 career receptions (behind only Kelly Campbell, who had 195 catches from 1998-01 and one slot ahead of College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, who caught 178 passes as a Yellow Jacket from 2004-06)," Georgia Tech's website said of Rutherford.
While his athletic testing did not jump off the charts (2.26 RAS score), Rutherford's film is a different story. He was was clocked at 20.5 miles per hour in a game against Florida State during the 2024 season (see clip below.)
