The Atlanta Falcons are moving on from the 2026 NFL Draft to the next phase the offseason, but they've still yet to officially sign their undrafted free agent class. The team has reportedly agreed to terms with 16 undrafted free agents, many of whom play on the offensive side of the football.
Atlanta added one quarterback, one running back, two tight ends, five wide receivers, three offensive linemen, two defensive linemen, one specialist and one defensive back. Plus, several players have been invited to the team's rookie minicamp.
In today's undrafted free agent spotlight, we look at MSU-Moorhead quarterback Jack Strand.
Falcons UDFA profile: QB Jack Strand
• 2025 stats: 3,546 pass yards, 42 TD, 14 INT; 288 rush yards, 5 TD
Strand, a Division II legend, met with the Falcons prior to the draft and was one of the team's first reported undrafted free agent signings. The former Dragons signal-caller broke every school passing record during his four years at MSU-Moorhead (2022-2025), ending his career with 13,161 passing yards, 126 touchdowns and 50 interceptions.
While he's not exactly a dual-threat, Strand had nine career rushing touchdowns. Last season, he rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound quarterback has a sturdy frame and NFL-caliber arm. Strand still needs some polish, but he has enough physical tools to compete for a backup job at the NFL level.
"A big-boned, sturdy passer, Strand has a live arm but a funky, sidearmed release," wrote The Athletic's Dane Brugler. "His accuracy is adequate, but his ball placement must be more consistent when attacking small-window throws. He tends to arm most of his throws, especially to his left, and needs to be more aware of getting his footwork and hips aligned. He can throw with anticipation and isn’t shy about throwing to spots, although he needs to take better care of the ball."
The Falcons already have three quarterbacks on the roster -- Michael Penix Jr., Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Siemian -- but Strand has a chance to compete with Siemian for that third quarterback job this season.
