Former Vanderbilt tight end Jared Pinkney was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.

Though his draft stock was high as a junior with 774 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, Pinkney decided to return for his senior season at Vanderbilt.

He suffered from a struggling passing attack that saw four different quarterbacks start en route to a 3-9 record in 2019. He had 20 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns, all low marks in his career.

Through four years, Pinkney notched 1,560 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.

He signed with the Commodores in 2015 as a thee-star tight end out of Norcross, Georgia.
