As a first-round quarterback and no clear-cut starter in front of him, we all know QB Kenny Pickett has the best chance of any rookie QB to start. But beyond him – who is set up in the best situation to potentially see starting snaps? FrontOffice33
to a two-year contract worth $18.75 million. Really, it’s more of a one-year deal worth $6.75 million that carries a $12 million team-option for 2023. Mariota only landed bridge-starter money and it didn’t prevent Atlanta from drafting Ridder in the third round.
Mariota reunites with Falcons Head Coach Arthur Smith in Atlanta, who previously served as his offensive coordinator in Tennessee. While coaches undoubtedly value shared experience with players that already understand their scheme, a sentiment that rings especially true in regards to quarterbacks, Smith and Mariota experienced little success together in Tennessee.
Mariota struggled to execute Smith’s scheme with the desired consistency in Tennessee and he’ll be surrounded by an even worse supporting cast in Atlanta. The Falcons fielded what was quite possibly the worst group of pass catchers throughout the 2021 campaign en route to finishing as the league’s seventh-worst scoring offense despite rostering a veteran gunslinger in Ryan.
Losing Calvin Ridley to a year-long suspension was a definite blow that left Atlanta without a dominant boundary receiver going forward. Falcons General Manager Terry Fontenot responded by drafting former USC standout, who immediately became the team’s No. 1 receiver.
