Atlanta Falcons sign veteran cornerback to complete 90-man roster image

Fox Sports' Greg Auman reports the Atlanta Falcons signed veteran defensive back Anthony Johnson to fill the final spot on their 90-man roster. After spending time on the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints' practice squads last season, Johnson has a chance to add more depth to Atlanta's cornerback/safety rooms. Johnson is a tall cornerback (6'2", 205) whose length and footwork can help him stay in phase with receivers in the NFL, despite some speed and explosiveness limitations.

With this signing, the Falcons have completed their 90-man roster, the undrafted free agent marks the sixth cornerback added to the roster this offseason.
