A fourth-round pick in 2015 out of Eastern Carolina, wide receiver Justin Hardy has been a pleasant surprise for the Atlanta Falcons. As a rookie he brought in 21 passes for 194 yards as a rookie, but never crossed the goal line. He remedied that by scoring four touchdowns in his second season in which he also caught 21 passes but went for 203 yards.
Neither season was bad, and Hardy showed a lot of improvement in year two. He had the same number of catches as his freshman year, but did so with less targets. He also added more yards per reception.
