        Falcons sign UDFA TE Joshua Simons

        The Atlanta Falcons signed South Carolina TE Joshua Simon to an Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Simon spent six years in college: four at Western Kentucky, followed by two at South Carolina. He contributed immediately with a 30-430-4 line as a freshman and a 33-370-3 as a sophomore. But that momentum was halted by a season-ending knee injury in the 2021 season opener. Simon spent one more year at Western Kentucky (20-273-6) before transferring to South Carolina. He was relatively quiet in 2023 but emerged as the Gamecocks’ top pass catcher this past year. Simon led the team with 40 catches, 519 yards, and seven TDs, registering a 31.8% Dominator Rating that ranked fourth among the 21 TEs at the Combine. He also ranked fourth in yards per team pass attempt and eighth in yards per route – although it’s worth noting that the strong 2024 came at 23 years old. Simon is a plus athlete (8.77 Relative Athletic Score) with natural receiving ability, making him an intriguing sleeper for dynasty players.

        Simon's athleticism made it likely that he would get drafted, but his age an lack of production ultimately sunk him.

        He has no redraft or dynasty value at this point.
