The Atlanta Falcons may not have the answer at the most pivotal position in the NFL, yet they still have talent. The Falcons have skill at every position but quarterback. They are notably strong at receiver with elite pass-catcher Drake London. This is why the Falcons still have a place in primetime games. The Falcons will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5 on Sunday Night Football. This will be a fun watch for numerous reasons. Trojan fans will focus on the two former USC receivers in this game, Ja’Kobi Lane and Drake London.
Sunday Night Football is the big stage, and that is where the best players shine bright. Drake London will, of course, be making big plays for whoever his quarterback is. I think it is very likely he goes off and has 100 yards receiving and a touchdown, as he does in most games. The things that separate Drake London and other receivers are his size and his freakish athleticism.
The Ravens have that too with a player like Ja’Kobi Lane. Lane may not be as proven as London, but the talent is there with him. As is the potential in what he can be. This will be a great game for him to match his NFL comparison and show what he can do on the big stage.
Both players can be a nightmare matchup for opposing defenses and a great asset to their quarterback. Which quarterback taps into that asset the most will lead their team to victory off of that factor alone. Nonetheless, there will be multiple highlight reel catches in this game stemming from both of these receivers.
