Good deal. Congrats on Javy making it to Atlanta. He and Rogers will make a good combo in the return game. Plus a very good cover man in the slot.

Devin Hester also just signed with Atlanta. Feel like Javy has been always competing with someone really good at the return position. McCluster at KC, Peterson and Tyrann at the Cards, now Hester at the Falcons.

That tells me they plan to play Javy at CB. Hester is slowing a bit too looking at last year

Primarily in the slot. Javy doesn't have great speed, but he does have quickness and good instincts to allow him to be not only a special return man, but a special guy in coverage, especially in nickel and dime packages. Like I said, he'll be good in coverage primarily in the slot.
