What are reasonable expectations for London, Pitts & Robinson?
The quarterback position has largely dominated the conversation when it comes to the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, but we're here to correct that. Do I think we will ever see Kyle Pitts have the production he did in his rookie year? Perhaps not. The offensive weapons around him have grown too much. Could we see something closer to that production? Absolutely. A healthy Kyle Pitts is a dangerous Kyle Pitts, and someone the Falcons think very highly of. And for good reason, too.

2024 Falcons Preview: New Coach-QB Duo Can Win Weak Division
After three years of watching Arthur Smith treat his star offensive players like they were radioactive, the Falcons are hoping Raheem Morris has a better plan. Offensively, things will look much different pairing Kirk Cousins with new coordinator Zac Robinson, who comes over with Morris from the Rams. The first month of the season will be a test starting with the Steelers at home before traveling to the Eagles on a Monday night. On a short week, Atlanta hosts the Chiefs and their top rival Saints.
