FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons linebacker Tony Taylor will get his first NFL start in a pre-season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday night.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said he was impressed by Taylor's performance to this point in practice, and said "he'll get a shot Saturday night."

This Taylor's second year in the NFL. He was picked up by the Falcons as a undrafted free agent out of Georgia last May.

Saturday's game pitting the Atlanta Falcons against the Jacksonville Jaguars can be seen on MyATL-TV Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
