Falcons 2022 post-draft roster review: Wide receiver

The Falcons have undergone a lot of transition since the new decade began, but arguably no spot on this roster – quarterback aside – has changed as much as wide receiver. When Atlanta released its official roster before the 2020 season, wide receiver was a key strength. The position featured Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage as a three-headed monster with promising young players like Olamide Zaccheaus and Christian Blake waiting in the wings.

In two short years, the Falcons no long have Jones or Gage on the roster and Ridley is serving a one-year suspension, with his future with the organization seemingly very much in doubt.
