Two months ago, the Falcons drafted six players, and four out of the six play different positions.  Now with Training Camp only a month away, who are the players to keep your eye on as it nears?

3. The Entire Offense

Okay, I know this is not a player, but hear me out.  The offense as a whole last season was not great at all.  They were not bad, but they were nothing compared to the 2016 campaign, and that may be because of the introduction of Steve Sarkisian.

Sarkisian has been noted to have the same offensive scheme as Kyle Shanahan, who allowed our Offense to excel in 2016, but has yet to prove it to the Atlanta faithful.

Steve Sarkisian has been quoted in OTAs and Mini-camp saying how much more comfortable he is with this Offense.  He has had a year now to learn the group and it is definitely the time for him to show what he has.

There is ample room to grow with this offense, and with the elite play-makers like Matt Ryan at the helm and Julio Jones out wide, there is now no excuse to not have a top-5 performance this year.

It will be interesting to see what Sarkisian brings to the table and showcases during the Preseason, so pay close attention to our Offense, as they try to bounce back from a down year.
