The 2023 Falcons rookie class is still a work-in-progress. This past week against Minnesota, a couple of players missed the game owing to injury or simply being inactive, one was limited to special teams, and the three who remained active and played all had their ups-and-downs.
Until the Falcons unlock Bijan Robinson’s full potential, get Matthew Bergeron playing at a steady high level, and increase the size of Zach Harrison’s weekly role, this is going to be the story of this draft class. For the long term, every single one of the six players Atlanta selected may well have a significant gameday role, and Robinson and Bergeron have the potential to be great players for years to come.
