Falcons Free Agency: Which Player is a 'Perfect Fit' For Atlanta?
The Atlanta Falcons will likely be addressing their pass-catching unit this offseason.
With free agency just one week away, the Falcons are lining up their cash to shell out to potential players.
ESPN believes the player the Falcons must sign is New England Patriots wideout Jakobi Meyers.
"If QB Desmond Ridder is going to be the man in Atlanta, he will need people to throw to besides Drake London and Kyle Pitts," ESPN writes. "Meyers, originally a 2019 undrafted free agent for the Patriots, could be the best wide receiver in this year's market. He's 6-foot-2 and an excellent inside route runner."
After going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft, Meyers has proven pundits and general managers wrong in his first four years in the league.
This past season, Meyers played 14 games and caught 67 receptions for 804 yards and six touchdowns. Had he stayed healthy, there would have been a good chance for him to break the 1,000-yard threshold for the first time in his career.
Meyers would give the Falcons another weapon to team up with Drake London and Kyle Pitts, perhaps taking the attention off of them and opening up opportunities for targets all around.
While Meyers doesn't immediately turn the Falcons into a contender, he can be a small part of the change in Atlanta in order to bring the team back to the playoffs.
