When the Atlanta Falcons released veteran wide receiver Harry Douglas this off-season, I was disappointed. Sure, his contract number was a bit prohibitive. And sure, that's his agent's fault for negotiating a backloaded contract. But Douglas was reliable in spurts. If he wasn't mysteriously tripping, singing the praises of female deodorant, or injured, Douglas was a decent third or fourth option in the receiving game.
Douglas' absence created a void, one the Falcons quickly filled with the addition of rookie WR Justin Hardy. Hardy was drafted in the fourth round and stands to have an immediate impact on the team; per 247Sports' Brian Jones, he could be their "secret weapon.
