This Past Weekend...

...On Saturday, I watched one former Falcon wide receiver play in the College Football Playoffs as part of a team (Alabama) that will must likely repeat as National Champions. In addition to catching passes, he showed his blocking ability and his play on special teams to prospective scouts. He'll most likely get a look by an NFL team later this year.
On Sunday, I also watched another former Falcon wide receiver play for an NFL team (Giants) that just won 11 games this year and qualified for the playoffs. Playing sparingly at receiver, he had two touchdown catches this year but contributed heavily on special teams. He seems to have a future if he can continue to make the most of his opportunities.
I think we take for granted just how good those 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 BG teams were offensively.
