Microsoft Copilot’s storyline: Can Drake London become a true WR1 with Penix under center?
London has shown flashes, but the chemistry with Penix will be crucial. Rondale Moore and Jamal Agnew add depth and versatility.
Is this accurate? Eh, yes, but also, no.
I would push back on Copilot here. London has been WR1 since he was drafted to Atlanta. He doesn’t need to become it. He already is it. But I will agree that the connection with Penix is crucial for furthering London’s status as one of the best and most productive receivers in the league. We saw that connection play out in Penix’s three starts last season, and as London himself said in this week’s latest On The Rise episode, that connection has only grown this offseason.
As for Copilot’s explainer, I need to point it to an updated roster. For starters, Moore is no longer on the roster. And while Agnew’s addition does add depth, I would argue his versatility — or better yet, ability — as a return man is of the most value to the Falcons at this juncture without Avery Williams on the roster any longer, too. He may be listed as a receiver on the roster, but his special teams ability is what really strikes me about Agnew. That, and I think the Falcons are actually in a really good spot when it comes to wide receiver depth with the likes of Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge, Agnew, Casey Washington and even Chris Blair and Nick Nash on the training camp roster.
