Everyone and their mother (assuming those mothers followed the NFL Draft) knew the Atlanta Falcons were going to snag one (or more) wide receivers in the 2022 NFL draft. Terry Fontenot had shipped out the disgruntled future Hall of Fame wide receiver Julio Jones in 2021. Before Fontenot could do the same to Calvin Ridley, Ridley made some very cool and very legal (outside of the NFL) bets on NFL games, resulting in a season-long suspension.
The Falcons were fresh out of wide receivers and pre-draft reports said the Falcons would be aggressive at finding replacements.
