I’ve been in this business for seven seasons and, without fail, the best barometer for preseason expectations — perhaps success — comes with the amount of media attention. The earlier the better. So imagine the reaction when there were almost too many links to list from the Falcons weekend mini camp. Sure, I could have pulled together some [...]
