Falcons to "lean on" Darnell Mooney more this season
Our Summary
Darnell Mooney rejuvenated his career with the Falcons, posting 64 catches for 992 yards and six touchdowns after two less impactful seasons with the Bears. Falcons' wide receivers coach, Ike Hilliard, praised Mooney as a key vertical threat and veteran presence, highlighting his value as a former fifth-round pick who has earned a second contract. The Falcons plan to rely on him more this season, alongside talents like Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. The team's cohesive offensive strategy aims to break Atlanta's playoff drought.
