If you were a young wide receiver just breaking into the NFL, it’d be hard to imagine a better place to grow than Flowery Branch. For starters, you’d have talented, sharp and experienced teammates in Roddy White and Julio Jones to help you along. You’d have a premier WR coach in Terry Robiskie. And, of course, you’d have Matt Ryan, one of the top quarterbacks in the league today.
Justin Hardy is fortunate to be in this exact situation, and he isn’t taking it for granted. Rather, the fourth-round draft pick understands he’s in a favorable spot.
