Julio Jones looks different and feels different going into his second season with the Atlanta Falcons. A nagging hamstring injury kept him from having a big impact during his rookie season, but Jones is looking good so far during the offseason.

This is the part in a 32 part segment detailing one potential breakout player for the 2012 NFL season on each NFL team. For the Atlanta Falcons, that player is wide receiver Julio...

Roddy White doesn't shy away from the diva tendencies of many successful receivers.
He's still confident and outspoken, but White has taken on a different role for the Atlanta Falcons this season.

Another week and we have another sweet three hours of preseason football. I believe the most dedicated of us in the Falcons fandom will be able to muster watching until about halftime, or slightly longer than the starters will play. What do I want to see?
