This preseason has had many ups and many downs, most of the ups have been how the rookies have showed they belong with the Falcons. Looking back at the first couple of games, a few players that have already proved they can compete in this league; Calvin Ridley, Isaiah Oliver, Emmanuel Ellerbee, Jonathan Celestin, and Kurt Benkert.
First off, Calvin Ridley has a had remarkable preseason for the falcons, despite starting 0-2, although he had a rocky first game, Ridley was able to score his first NFL touchdown last week against the Chiefs, also racking in 49 receiving yards which led the team.
