Atlanta Falcons: Justin Hardy is ready for a bigger role in 2016

If there is any one player on the Atlanta Falcons’ offense that is playing better than expected through the first nine training camp practices its wide receiver Justin Hardy.

the 2015 fourth-round pick has flown well under the radar heading into 2016 after a somewhat disappointing rookie campaign, but that hasn’t stopped him from showing out.

There isn’t much Hardy hasn’t down in camp. Whether it be one-handed catches, superb route-running or just his overall confidence level, Hardy is showing everyone what he’s capable of and boy is that exciting.

Heading into camp, Hardy wasn’t even a lock to win a starting job, but unless something crazy happens, he has that job locked up behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu.
