C.J. Hawthorne signs free-agent deal with Falcons

Advertiser Staff

Former University of Hawaii wide receiver C.J. Hawthorne has signed a free-agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons.

The signing of Hawthorne means that all four former UH receivers will be in NFL camps as free-agent signees.

Davone Bess will be in Miami, Ryan Grice-Mullins Houston, and Jason Rivers in Tennessee.

The Falcons, who drafted quarterback Matt Ryan and offensive tackle Sam Baker in the first round, also picked Louisville receiver Harry Douglas in the third round.

Atlanta's mini-camp will be held May 10-12.
