Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews, whose NFL Draft journey The Post chronicled, went undrafted, but signed as a free agent with the Falcons on Saturday night.
Mathews had offers from a number of teams, but said he felt the best fit for him was in Atlanta. The record-setting quarterback will battle for one of the backup spots behind Matt Ryan.
"It was tough, but I was fortunate to have my family and friends around," Mathews said of watching the draft go by. "I'm just very happy to be going to Atlanta. It's a great opportunity to go down there to a very good team and franchise. Matt Ryan is someone I can learn from."
Mathews set 47 school records at Cornell, but NFL teams questioned the level of competition he faced and his speed. Mathews said he hopes to prove them wrong.
"There's always a reason to have a chip on your shoulder," Mathews said. "This is definitely one of them."
