Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post reports that East Carolina wideout Dwayne Harris will conduct a private workout for the Falcons today. The Falcons met with Harris during the Senior Bowl and Combine over the past two months.

The Falcons have an upcoming workout with Troy wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan on Thursday. Harris is considered one of the better slot receivers in this year’s draft class, and it seems likely that hte Falcons are focusing on upgrading their wide receiver corps this April.

The 5’10″ 203-pound receiver ran a 4.55 40 at the Combine. He had one of the better 3 cone drills among wideouts at the Combine, clocking 6.77 seconds. Harris was fourth in the nation last season with 101 receptions as a senior. Harris will conduct his pro day workout on March 23.

Drew Chaplin of the Dothan Eagle reports that Troy wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan will hold a private workout with the Atlanta Falcons next Wednesday, March 16 along with Trojan teammate running back DuJuan Harris.

Falcons scouts were on hand on Friday for Jernigan’s pro day where he was clocked as fast as 4.32 seconds in his 40-yard dash according to some stopwatches. That mark would have been the second fastest at the Combine two weeks ago. Instead, Jernigan ran a 4.46 in Indianapolis, but was able to showcase some of his trademark speed. Jernigan’s explosive capabilities has some folks comparing him to current Philadelphia Eagle DeSean Jackson, and he is widely projected as a second round pick.

Harris isn’t a highly rated running back, but he’s a powerfully built 5-7 at 196 pounds, as he did 27 reps of 225 pounds on the bench and clocked a fast 4.37 40 at Troy’s pro day last week.

D. Orlando Ledbetter of the AJC reports that Troy defensive end Brandon Lang will be among several players that will work out for the Falcons today in their structured pro day. The event will include draft-eligible players that have local ties either via where they attended college or high school.

Previous reports indicated that Clemson tight end Michael Palmer and Minnesota cornerback Traye Simmons will also be in attendance. Ledbetter also includes in his report a list of several NFL prospects that have local ties, although it’s unconfirmed if any of them will be on hand at Flowery Branch today.

Adam Caplan of Scout.com tweets that Mississippi State middle linebacker Jamar Chaney will visit the Falcons this week on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The 6’1″ 240-pound linebacker started his last two seasons in the middle for the Bulldogs. He is coming off his most productive season where he had 90 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions. He missed most of the 2008 season with a leg injury, going down in the season opener, but not before he recorded 12 tackles. As a sophomore in 2006, he played outside linebacker.

He is a fast linebacker that could potentially move back to outside linebacker if he were drafted by the Falcons.

Scout.com’s Chris Steuber reports that Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham already visited with the Atlanta Falcons. Per Steuber, it has been a “couple of weeks” since Graham’s visit with the Falcons, which implies his visit occurred in early-to-mid March.

The Falcons were among a few teams noted to be present at the pro day of Graham earlier this week.

Scout.com’s Chris Steuber reports that Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards has already visited with the Falcons.

Edwards was a highly mobile and productive playmaker in four years at Appalachian State. He was the Football Championship Subdivision’s (formerly Division I-AA) first two-time Walter Payton Award winner, given to that division’s top player. For his career, he completed 65% of his passes for over 10,000 passing yards, 74 touchdowns, and also rushed for nearly 5,000 rushing yards and had 56 touchdowns.

His small build (5’10″ 187) and natural athleticism have many teams wondering if he can convert to the wide receiver position. He clocked a 4.41 40 time at his pro day in March.
