3 Overlooked Atlanta Falcons MVPs six weeks into the season

The Atlanta Falcons have had a number of surprising MVPs so far this season from Grady Jarrett playing the best football of his career to rookie Drake London quickly becoming the primary target.

While there have been a number of Atlanta Falcons players who have stood out and stepped up so far this season the unquestioned MVP should be head coach Arthur Smith. After letting his team suffer another familiar Atlanta collapse in week one Smith has stepped up.

Atlanta has often been the best-coached team this season and has shown an elite ability to adjust and play themselves back into games against superior rosters. Add in last week’s impressive gameplan and a home win over San Francisco and Smith is obviously the team’s MVP thus far.

There are few coaches in this league that could accomplish what he has with limited talent and over a quarter of his budget locked up in traded or cut contracts.

While there are obvious MVPs like Smith or Jarrett let’s take a look at three Atlanta Falcons whose season accomplishments have been overlooked but have been detrimental to the team’s success.
