It’s time to keep our forward-looking roster review rolling with wide receiver. The quarterback position features some uncertainty because we don’t know if the Falcons are drafting a quarterback just yet and the running back position badly needs an infusion of talent, so I’m happy to say that the receiving corps offers a much more positive outlook.
The Falcons had a frustrating tendency to struggle to get receivers open in 2020, something that the offensive scheme almost certainly played a major role in, but I thought on balance the group played well this past season. They were able to (eventually) put quality efforts together without Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage enjoyed easily their best years yet.
