By The young Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder is surrounded by several strong skill players, therefore there is a lot of hope for the Falcons’ offence in 2023.
Drake London, a second-year receiver, claims that the other players can sense it as well.
“I think we sense the hype in the locker room,” London said this week, via Michael Rothstein of ESPN. “I think we sense what we can do as an offence. And I think we sense what we can do as a team in general. I think it’s just the confidence, the readiness to get on the field and show what we can do to the world.”
London, who caught 72 catches for 866 yards and four scores in 2022, said it’s difficult for him to compare the team’s internal emotions last year to this year because he was still a rookie and was beginning to find his bearings.
“But as of right now,” London added, “I think you can say that the confidence and the hype in the locker room is much different from what it was last year.”
Atlanta’s offensive line now has first-round running back Bijan Robinson in addition to Tyler Allgier, Kyle Pitts, London, and Cordarrelle Patterson.
“I think it’s just the firepower that we have,” London said. “You know? Just the firepower that we have, the guys that we have in the locker room, and knowing what they can do and how special of athletes we all have around us.”
In addition to Tyler Allgier, Kyle Pitts, London, and Cordarrelle Patterson, first-round running back Bijan Robinson is now a member of Atlanta’s offensive line.
