Jamison Crowder

Jamison Crowder would be a very interesting pickup for the Atlanta Falcons. He is a receiver who has had decent production throughout his career, but he is coming off of one of his worst seasons as a pro.

Crowder put up great numbers as a member of the Commanders and his first season as a New York Jet. In his two best seasons he was able to put up 847 and 833 yards, certainly respectable for a player that is a compliment in an offense.

Comparing some of his stats to Russell Gage, he actually holds the advantage in many areas. He averages more yards per route run and more yards per game than Russell Gage has throughout his career.

Jamison Crowder would be a nice option for the Falcons, he would fill the need that the team has and could potentially put up better numbers than Russell Gage. However, it is a bit of a risk as he had a down season last year having only put up 447 yards through 12 games. Along with that, he has only played in 12 games for two consecutive seasons.

That also means that he could come much cheaper than Russell Gage, which would be a huge win for the Falcons.
