The Atlanta Falcons won't be able to navigate through their 2022 NFL schedule without at least a little bit of drama at the all-important quarterback position.
With Matt Ryan off to the Indianapolis Colts and 28-year-old Marcus Mariota aboard as the uninspiring presumptive starter, they'll be hearing plenty of calls from the fan base to elevate third-round rookie Desmond Ridder into the lead role. The backup quarterback, after all, is often the most popular player on a bad team, and the Falcons aren't exactly expected to win many games as they enter a full-fledged rebuild.
Calvin Ridley won't be playing in 2022 as he serves a gambling-related suspension, but Atlanta can at least get excited about the prospect of draft class-headliner Drake London catching balls from whoever is taking snaps. Plus, Kyle Pitts should only get better after debuting at tight end with 1,026 yards and a Pro Bowl appearance in 2021.
Atlanta mustered up seven victories during Ryan's final season at the helm, and even that might be a lofty goal for a team relying on so many unproven and inexperienced contributors. As general manager Terry Fontenot put it, per NFL.com‘s Cameron Wolfe, “There may be short-term pain. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
At least the youngsters should provide plenty of excitement and have opportunities to grow — or, in some cases, continue growing — on the job. The tunnel doesn't have to be totally dark along the way.
