Falcons, Panthers Schedule Pre-Draft Visits With Georgia Tech QB Haynes King

The NFC South rivals are evaluating the dual-threat passer as a late-round option before the April 23 draft.

Overview

  • King, who was reported Monday by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport to have visits set with Atlanta and Carolina, will meet both teams this week.
  • The 25-year-old produced 2,951 passing yards with 14 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2025, plus 953 rushing yards and 15 rushing scores for Georgia Tech.
  • He tested as an elite athlete at the NFL Combine with a 4.46-second 40-yard dash, and he posted top quarterback times in the 3-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle.
  • Evaluators project him for Day 3 or undrafted status due to age and passing flaws such as shaky footwork and mechanics, despite his strong running value.
  • For Atlanta, late-round interest tracks with a QB room led by Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr. and Trevor Siemian on short deals, while a Pro Day chat with team executive Matt Ryan and local-visit rules give the Falcons easy access.
