4 Bold Predictions About Atlanta Falcons Training Camp

Rookie wide receiver Casey Washington has been one of the least talked about additions of the Atlanta Falcons’ offseason. That’s largely because any draft talk seems to be headed straight to Michael Penix Jr. and Atlanta’s defensive line additions.

Both for good reason, but they overlooked a potential contributor. Drake London and Darnell Mooney are the only receivers whose roles appear to be set. After this camp and the preseason, there should be a wide-open competition for the remaining spots on the depth chart.

Washington will enter the roster and battle for the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver role. Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDeral Hodge, and Rondale Moore are the obvious names ahead of the rookie. Add in Josh Ali, Chris Blair, and Austin Mack battling for roles, and you have an underrated position battle.

The confident rookie has the advantage of balancing out Atlanta’s current rotation. Having London, Mooney, Moore, Washington and McCloud as your top five options gives you a solid rotation. Casey Washington is going to be a pleasant surprise for many Atlanta Falcons fans throughout camp and earn a surprise spot on the depth chart.
