When the Atlanta Falcons picked fourth in the 2021 NFL Draft, opinions were split. Some fans wanted to see the team draft a quarterback like Justin Fields, some hoped for an elite skill position player like Kyle Pitts or Ja'Marr Chase, and others desired a defensive difference-maker like Patrick Surtain II or Micah Parsons.
Obviously, the Dirty Birds ended up selecting Pitts, but it's been a tumultuous five seasons in Atlanta. However, the former Florida standout has turned a corner due to his rapport with Michael Penix Jr., which saw him catch a team-high seven passes for 62 yards in the Falcons' Week 7 loss.
