Why Jack Strand is The Future of Falcons' Offense

Jack Strand may be one of the biggest surprises of the Atlanta Falcons' 2026 preseason. The undrafted quarterback from Minnesota State Moorhead has gone from fighting for a roster spot to forcing a serious conversation about the future of Atlanta's offense. After a difficult preseason opener against the Denver Broncos, Strand exploded against the Indianapolis Colts, throwing for 212 yards and a touchdown while adding another score on the ground in Atlanta's 34–6 win. With Michael Penix Jr. returning, Tua Tagovailoa competing and Cooper Rush battling for his place, the Falcons suddenly have a fascinating quarterback situation. In this video, we break down Jack Strand's breakout, his fit in Kevin Stefanski's offense, his size and mobility, his ability to create outside the pocket, and why his emergence could become much bigger than a preseason roster battle. Could Atlanta have found a legitimate long-term offensive weapon in an undrafted quarterback?
