According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, dual sport athlete and two-time track All-American Cole Beck will attend the Atlanta Falcons rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. Beck was also a core special-teamer for the Hokies.

Beck's 2023 season was cut short due to a season-ending injury, but he still helped out on special teams, a role that he will probably keep in his pursuit to become an NFL player. 

Beck is arguably one of the fastest players in this draft and could become a problem for players to catch in open space. However, if he doesn't stick on an NFL roster, you can probably find him qualifying at your nearest Olympic qualifier
