The pickup off of the Tennessee Titans' practice squad proved himself during the preseason, and impressed head coach Arthur Smith enough to make the 53-man roster. 

"Everyone has different philosophies," Smith said. "That spot is, if you want to address with a quarterback, that gives you 49 on gameday, but you only use it if there’s a situation where he has to come in the game. You may need it, you may not."

In an otherwise poor performance for the Falcons in the team's preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Woodside kept his composure and finished the game as one of the few bright spots as he completed 24 of his 31 passes for 196 yards. 

Woodside will be behind Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke on the depth chart, and chances are he won't be needed. However, one thing we can say about the Falcons is that they will have a capable quarterback if needed ... in the event of the aforementioned worst case scenario.
