Justin Hardy will break out as the Falcons new WR2

Without a doubt, the Falcons have one of the deepest and most dynamic wide receiver corps in the NFL. Julio Jones is an all out superstar and beast, Taylor Gabriel can sprint like cheetah with the football in his hands, Mohamed Sanu can play both the outside and the slot, and Justin Hardy has hands like you wouldn’t believe.

As mentioned in my Top Three Falcons Breakout Candidates for the 2017 NFL Season article, Sanu has even stated that Hardy has the best hands on the team.

When defenses double Jones, Hardy will likely have his opportunity to gash opposing secondaries. He’ll be ready to make the most of it, maybe breaking out as a deadly second option.

Don’t sleep on the wolf.
