Former New England Patriots draft pick Layden Robinson is getting a fresh start in Atlanta. After impressing the Falcons during a rookie minicamp tryout, the offensive guard is signing with the team's 90-man roster, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Robinson, a fourth-round selection by the Patriots in 2024, started 11 games at guard during his rookie season but was waived last October. He briefly landed on the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract in January, only to be released earlier this month. Now, he'll compete for a spot in a Falcons offensive line room that already features established starters Chris Lindstrom and Matthew Bergeron at guard.

While Robinson faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster, his NFL starting experience could give him an edge in the backup competition. The 25-year-old also brings a strong college pedigree, having started 33 games at Texas A&M. However, he'll need to show significant improvement after failing to stick with the Patriots' new regime.

For Robinson, this tryout-to-signing story is a testament to perseverance—and a reminder that in the NFL, a second chance is never far away. Falcons fans will be watching closely as training camp unfolds to see if this former SEC standout can finally translate his college success to the pro level.
