As much as it pains me to say it, Roddy White is nearing the end of his illustrious career. It’s almost time for Atlanta to add another big time weapon for Matt Ryan, and who better than the 6’4″ monster that is Jaelen Strong? Just picture him alongside Julio Jones!
No kidding; Strong epitomizes the modern NFL wide receiver. His 71 receptions in 2013 signify his pass catching abilities, and he can also burn you deep. Past attempts have Jaelen running somewhere between a 4.45-4.50 40, but he has a another whole year to improve upon that. 2013 was Strong’s only year of production because, well, it was his first year starting. If he can dominate again in 2014, he may be worth a Falcon’s 1st round pick.
