Kyle Shanahan's offense gives the former Washington players on the squad a chance to teach and a chance to earn opportunities.
We tend to view castoffs from other teams with earned skepticism, so you can't blame anyone for thinking that the likes of Leonard Hankerson, Chris Chester and Tyler Polumbus aren't headed for great things in Atlanta. If they enjoy one advantage, though, it's familiarity with the offense Kyle Shanahan plans to install for the Falcons.
What kind of production that translates into remains to be seen, but it's obvious that there's a comfort level here that is going to help guys like Hankerson ramp up.
