With a new offensive coordinator at the helm, these three Falcons will have their careers revived.
1. Darnell Mooney, WR
Darnell Mooney came into the league with a bang racking up over 1,600 yards and nine touchdowns despite having a shaky quarterback situation in Chicago. In his two seasons since then, he has just over 900 yards and three touchdowns.
It is evident that the talent is there, he just needs an offensive coordinator and quarterback to take advantage of it.
Well, now he has both of those things with the Atlanta Falcons. Mooney will be a featured player in this offense. He should finally hit the heights he was expected to hit in Chicago.
2. Rondale Moore, WR
Rondale Moore has elite speed, it is the reason the Falcons traded for him this offseason. Moore could never find a consistent role with the Arizona Cardinals and now he gets to play with a team who sees a clear role for him.
He has never had more than one receiver touchdown in his career; that is going to change this year, He is going to be used as that do-it-all playmaker who lines up at receiver and in the backfield.
Don’t be surprised to see him take handoffs to get the ball in his hands. It doesn’t matter how the ball gets to him, he needs to be given the opportunity to race down the field because no one is going to catch him.
3. Kyle Pitts, TE
Who is more excited to see a new playcaller and quarterback than Kyle Pitts?
After a phenomenal rookie season, it has been a rough ride for the fourth-overall pick. We know he has the talent, he just needs to have the opportunity to use that talent. With an offensive coordinator who will throw the ball more frequently and an accurate quarterback, Pitts’ career is going to get back on track.
The only question is how much production could we see from Pitts in his fourth season? I think the ceiling is as high as any tight end in the NFL.
