The Falcons have benched Kirk Cousins and made rookie Michael Penix their starting quarterback, but Falcons wide receiver Drake London says that doesn’t change his job.
London said it’s on him and his fellow receivers to catch the ball no matter who is throwing it to them, and that’s what they’ll do.
“I don’t take QB changes in any way,” London said. “We did that in college a lot. Honestly, how I look at 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.”
London is the Falcons’ leading receiver and has already set career highs with 78 catches, 919 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s been a bright spot for the Falcons’ passing game, and the Falcons are hoping for more bright spots with a new quarterback. Even if Drake doesn’t think his job will change.
