2. Terry Fontenot was smart to sign WR Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney is proof that great receivers can only do so much when their quarterback is inaccurate. After a stint in Chicago that saw him break 1,000 yards before disappearing for numerous seasons, Terry Fontenot took a chance by signing Mooney to a substantial contract.

The Falcons No. 2 receiver developed a chemistry with Kirk Cousins that helped change the unit for much of the season. He was Cousins' favorite target on must-have downs due to his route running.

The first-year Falcon, much like Ray-Ray McCloud, is primed to have an even better season with a full offseason working with the new franchise quarterback.
