The Falcons were relatively thin at wide receiver outside of Drake London. The team has yet to re-sign Olamide Zaccheaus or Damiere Byrd and with the wide receiver market drying up, Atlanta lands a starting-caliber option for next season.
Hollins is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound wideout who finished with four touchdowns in 2022. Don’t be surprised if the team adds another receiver or two in free agency or the upcoming NFL draft.
