After the inspiring 2012 season for the Falcons, there are great expectations for the team going into the 2013 season. Now going into the second year of the spread offense, the Falcons look to have even more success than they did last year.
Even though star players wide receiver Kyle Dozier, linebacker Henry Wei, and running back Bryson Yates have graduated, seniors linebacker Christian Lee, wide receiver Travis Stokes, and running back Davis Berryhill have stepped up to fill those roles.
This year the Falcons look to have success again through the passing game and an integral part to the success of the offense is the team’s best player senior quarterback Jonathan Walters. Last year Walters had a monumental season with 3,503 passing yards, 39 passing touchdowns and an overall quarterback rating of 106.
Walters, however, knows the offense much better than they did last year.
“I have high expectations for this season because we have a solid year of the spread offense under our belt,” Walters said. “It definitely helps feeling like you know the offense and feeling comfortable with it.”
Walters said that watching last year’s film and looking at what he needs to improve on really helps and that he feels this season could be better than last year’s.
“I’ve been training hard in the offseason and I feel that the dedication I, and my team, put in both on and off the field will help us become better this season,” Walters said.
