With only the Super Bowl left before the Atlanta Falcons off-season officially begins attention for all but two teams in the league turns to renew hope this is the year for their team. The Falcons have a legitimate reason to feel this way in the best position the team has been in since their run to the Super Bowl six years ago.

In the time since the team has been mediocre at best putting off an inevitable rebuild and unable to build a capable defense.

This is the off-season that all of that changes with plenty of cap space and draft picks to build a contending team in the weakest division in the league. Atlanta’s improvement cannot just be in bringing in outside talent with four names in particular on their roster that must take a step forward in at least one facet of their game. Starting with a player who has done everything correctly but clearly isn’t being utilized correctly considering the elite ability to change games.
