Former Illinois receiver Casey Washington could surprise in a suddenly deep Falcons passing game.
The Atlanta Falcons come into the 2024 season with more weapons than offensive coordinator Zac Robinson may know what to do with. Quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. have former first-round picks Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson as primary passing targets, and there's the acquisition of former Bears receiver Darnell Mooney to the group.
Still, there may be opportunities for starting reps for sixth-round pick Casey Washington out of Illinois. Robinson is from the Sean McVay school, which means a lot of three-receiver sets. And the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Washington has a lot of reps as a bigger receiver Last season per Pro Football Focus, Washington caught 49 passes on 76 targets for 670 yards and four touchdowns.
It will be highly interesting to see how Washington bulls his way up the depth chart, especially in the preseason, when Penix is letting it fly in his general direction. Illinois receiver Casey Washington: 49 catches last season, 10 explosive plays. 6'2", 200-pound vertical receiver who can be a real problem for defenses on fade balls. Atlanta got this one right.
