With starting cornerback Robert Alford out with an ankle injury this week, the Isaiah Oliver experience is about to begin for the Atlanta Falcons
Oliver, the team’s second-round and rumored potential first-round pick out of Colorado, has played sparingly through the season, which isn’t all that uncommon for young cornerbacks.
The team has plenty talent at the position on the roster, though they clearly have an eye out for Oliver down the road with what he can do. Sunday at Washington, he’s going to get his best chance yet to show his growth and take on a relatively manageable assignment.
