THE DEFENSE COULD BE EVEN BETTER THAN LAST YEAR

Yep, you heard me.

Despite leading the NFL in scoring defense for three straight seasons, the Hawks could be even tougher this year.

The front four will be stronger with the addition of Jarran Reed and Quinton Richardson through the draft. There are questions at Bruce Irvin’s old OLB spot, but an intriguing gaggle of young players with unique skill sets set to jump into the fray.

And this may be the deepest group of DB’s the Hawks have had at their disposal since 2012.

In short, this might be the most dynamic and talented the roster has looked in three years. Certainly one capable of winning the division, locking up home field advantage, and taking home another Lombardi Trophy.
