The Falcons have multiple rookies on the shelf, one on the practice squad, and a couple who don’t really play. For all that, this is productive and effective group of rookies, with at least five players holding down major roles and a handful of them truly shining.
That was the case this week, where Drake London reeled in a touchdown, Troy Andersen was all over the field, Arnold Ebiketie continued to heat up as a pass rusher, and Tyler Allgeier once again led the team in rushing. Here’s this week’s rookie report.
WR Drake London: Touchdown machine
London now has about one-third of Mariota’s touchdown passes on the season, and has scoring grabs in each of the past two weeks.
