Matt Hennessy

Overall, a good center who has good size for the position and good leverage out of his stance. Good athleticism to be able to get out of his stance and to move out in space on screens. Needs work on hand placement. Decent anchor ability and good power, but nothing outstanding. Shorter arms could be an issue at the next level, but otherwise could be a decent interior OL player in the NFL.

Matt Hennessy selected No. 78 by Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have selected center Matt Hennessy with the No. 78 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

This was the Falcons' third pick of the draft and the first they have used on an offensive player. Hennessy will help bolster the team's offensive line. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley should all provide plenty of fantasy value in 2020. Additionally, Todd Gurley and Hayden Hurst will be contributors as well.
