As the Atlanta Falcons gear up for the offseason, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding the quarterback position. However, attention is also shifting towards the players catching passes.
Wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard may be relatively new to the team, but he’s already diving into film study. He’s identified Drake London as the clear top receiver on the roster. Hilliard wants London to step up and become a key player for the team, influencing coverage, making plays, and consistently contributing each week.

Hilliard is impressed by the talent among the wide receivers, but London stands out as someone the team is particularly excited about. They’re looking for him to elevate his game and become a significant factor on the field.
Despite investing in top talents like London, tight end Kyle Pitts, and running back Bijan Robinson in recent drafts, the Falcons’ offense hasn’t fully clicked. With Hilliard and other new coaches on board, there’s hope that they can unleash the team’s true potential and take their offense to new heights.
