Bold prediction #3: The Atlanta Falcons rookie WR Drake London finishes with 125+ yards receiving and his first two NFL touchdowns

We can all agree that the Atlanta Falcons’ first-round pick Drake London had a pretty good NFL debut on Sunday. He was coming off an injury, yet still managed to lead the team in receiving yards.

On paper in week two, Drake London’s task seems to get even more difficult provided that he will likely match up with Jalen Ramsey for much of the day, but it might actually be an easier assignment than you might think.

Jalen Ramsey has been the NFL’s best cornerback over the past five-plus years, but he is going through a rough patch, to put it lightly.

He was destroyed against Tampa Bay in the playoffs last season, then he was torched in the Super Bowl, and then the trend continued to start this season.

Many might believe the veteran has the advantage over the rookie but considering the two of them had complete opposite games in week one, the opposite might be true. If Jalen continues his struggles then London could find himself scoring his first NFL touchdown and having his first 100+ yard receiving game.

I personally think it will get even better than that as he will add at least another 25 yards and a touchdown onto that stat line. However, it will come down to whether or not Ramsey has another tough day and if Arthur Smith can actually use his offensive players correctly, unlike last week.
