With the release of Roddy White, the longtime Falcon with several franchise receiving records, it was obvious that Atlanta was looking for a young, fast, talented receiver to take pressure off of All-Pro, Julio Jones.
However, fans were left scratching their heads as to who White’s replacement would be. Some wondered if a receiver currently on the team would step up to be a firm No. 2 in the offense, but Justin Hardy is still developing, Eric Weems and Nick Williams have never held their own on the outside, and the details of the extent of Devin Hester‘s injury are still unclear.
