There's high hopes for the Atlanta Falcons locally. The team could have better, or at least more consistent, quarterback play with a breakout season from Michael Penix Jr. The Falcons could also get better edge rushing production from rookies Jalon walker and James Pearce Jr.

The second year of the Raheem Morris era in Atlanta is off to a good start as the Falcons work their way through Day 2 of mandatory minicamp. While these camp practices aren't overly physical, they do give players a chance to build chemistry heading into the season.

It’s practically an age-old tradition throughout the NFL. It pits the established veteran against the young gun. Such is the main course for the Falcons during their mandatory mini-camp. It’s Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. on full display.
