A year ago, the Atlanta Falcon’s receiving core was arguably their best position unit.
However, after the 2017 season there are plenty of reasons to question Atlanta’s current wide receivers.
First, and the most obvious, the Atlanta Falcons led the league in dropped passes with 30. Surprisingly, the great Julio Jones had the second most drops in the NFL with seven. Mohamed Sanu wasn’t far behind with six, ranking ninth in the NFL.
The two combined for just four drops in 2016.
Overall, Atlanta tripled their drops from 2016 (10), going from third-fewest in the league to the most.
