Clemson pro Ray-Ray McCloud joining the Falcons |
The Atlanta Falcons have another Clemson pro on the roster.
Ray-Ray McCloud is signing with Atlanta, per multiple reports, after making the Super Bowl last season with the San Francisco 49ers. He is a punt return specialist at the NFL level, having garnered All-Pro honors in his time at Pittsburgh and PFF team of the week honors during last year's playoffs. McCloud's two-year deal is worth up to $6 million, per his agent. He joins a Falcons roster with a pair of former Clemson standouts on defense with Grady Jarrett and A.J. Terrell, as well as punter Bradley Pinion. It is a fifth team for the Tampa native since a sixth-round NFL draft selection by the Buffalo Bills in 2018. McCloud was also briefly with the Carolina Panthers, and he's been on the Bills roster twice. McCloud has logged a career 9.6 yards per punt return and totaled two touchdowns as a pro (one rushing, one receiving). McCloud was a five-star prospect out of Sickles High School (Fla.). More speed for the #Falcons: They’re signing veteran WR and return man Ray-Ray McCloud to a two-year deal worth up to $6 million, per source.
