Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Nick Nash, who signed as an undrafted free agent out of San Jose State, could find himself in the team's receiver rotation in 2025 after leading all FBS pass-catchers in 2024 in catches (104), touchdowns (16) and receiving yards (1,382). The converted quarterback played half of his 2,169 collegiate snaps under center, giving him a unique perspective at the receiver position. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder gives QBs a wide catch radius, but for now, excelling on special teams could be his ticket to the main roster. He's old for a rookie at 26 years old and is relatively new to the receiver position, too, so at best, Nash will probably work in four- or five-receiver sets for the Falcons behind Drake London, Ray-Ray McCloud III and Darnell Mooney. He'll have to make up for his lack of long speed with his size and precise route-running.
The Atlanta Falcons have signed former San Jose State Spartan wide receiver Nick Nash as an undrafted free agent. Despite not making any flashy offensive selections in the draft, the Falcons wasted no time adding talent afterward. Nash became just the fourth FBS player in history to win the triple crown, registering 104 receptions, 1,382 yards, and 16 touchdowns in 2024. He spent the first three seasons of his tenure at San Jose State playing quarterback, transitioning to wideout to start the 2022 campaign. The 24-year-old didn't do much that year (six catches, 62 yards, three TDs), but picked it up in 2023 with a 47/728/8 receiving line. Nash's athleticism won't blow you away, but he recorded 45.9% of the team's receiving yards and touchdowns last season, making him one of the more intriguing undrafted assets.
