The Atlanta Falcons had a strong showing in their first preseason game, with several players stepping up and earning a spot on the final roster.

Here are three players who impressed in Preseason Week 1:

1. Isaiah Oliver, Cornerback

Oliver, a former first-round pick, has been out of the league for two years. However, he showed that he still has plenty of talent in the preseason opener.

Oliver had two interceptions in the game, including one that he returned for a touchdown. He also had several tackles and pass breakups.

2. Parker Hesse, Tight End

Hesse is a rookie who was undrafted out of Iowa. He has impressed the coaching staff with his athleticism and blocking ability.

Hesse caught two passes for 25 yards in the preseason opener. He also had several key blocks in the running game.

3. John FitzPatrick, Wide Receiver

FitzPatrick is a rookie who was drafted in the seventh round. He has shown that he has the potential to be a playmaker in the NFL.

FitzPatrick caught five passes for 60 yards in the preseason opener. He also had a long touchdown catch that was called back due to a penalty.

These three players are just a few of the many who impressed in Preseason Week 1. The Falcons have a lot of young talent on their roster, and these players are all part of the future of the franchise.
