The Atlanta Falcons may surprise some of their critics this season. With added depth and some semblance of a pass rush on defense, they're equipped for a potential rebound in 2015. While it's a long road ahead, there is room for cautious optimism.
From a player-centered viewpoint, the Falcons' future is unclear. Sure, guys like Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, and Desmond Trufant are established. But one tier down there's a wealth of potential talent, guys like Devonta Freeman, Robert Alford, and Kemal Ishmael. If we want to include rookies, Vic Beasley and Justin Hardy could have immediate impacts.
