Drake London: “Just Catch the Ball” as Falcons Turn to Rookie QB
The Atlanta Falcons have made a surprising move, benching veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and handing the reins to rookie Michael Penix Jr. While this change undoubtedly impacts the team’s strategy, wide receiver Drake London remains focused on what he can control: catching the football.
London, the Falcons’ leading receiver, emphasizes that QB changes are nothing new. “I don’t take QB changes in any way,” he stated. “We did that in college a lot. Honestly, how I look at it is, Just catch the ball. Whoever throws me the ball, I don’t care, just as long as it gets there and it’s catchable, that’s all that matters to me.”
This season, London has already set career highs with 78 catches, 919 yards, and seven touchdowns, making him a beacon of consistency in the Falcons’ passing game. With a new quarterback at the helm, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this dynamic evolves. The Falcons are hoping for continued success, and London’s unwavering attitude suggests he’s ready to rise to the challenge.
