Being a possession receiver next to Julio Jones is, in many ways, a thankless task. Julio is always going to soak up the attention, the fame, and the appreciation in a way you simply cannot. Even Roddy White, in the twilight of his career, faded into the background next to #11.
It is therefore a credit to Mohamed Sanu, who joined the team in the 2016 offseason as a free agent, that he’s managed to become a fan favorite and a truly appreciated cog in this offense. He’s done so by being versatile—that touchdown pass to Julio won’t soon be forgotten—and by simply playing very good football.
