Falcons to watch: What kind of 2019 role can Russell Gage earn?

By virtue of job security, potential role, and upside, there aren’t too many players on offense who are more interesting over this summer than Russell Gage. Your Matt Ryans, your Devonta Freemans, and your Calvin Ridleys are locked into huge roles in a way that Gage isn’t, but he’s a mortal lock to make the roster due to special team value and is set to have a major role there. That at least gives him the opportunity to earn looks on offense.

What makes him interesting is the combination of available roles now and in the future and that security.
