If you’re looking for reasons to feel good <a href="http://www.officialpanthersstore.com/shop-by-players-star-lotulelei-jersey-c-9_85.html">http://www.officialpanthersstore.com/shop-by-players-star-lotulelei-jersey-c-9_85.html</a> about the Atlanta Falcons’ future, look no further than fourth-year wide receiver Taylor Gabriel.

Last year Atlanta signed Gabriel to a cheap contract to lure him away from the Cleveland Browns, who had relegated him to the bench the previous season.

It was a good move.

Gabriel responded by producing one of the <a href="http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-joe-thuney-jersey-c-1_30.html">http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-joe-thuney-jersey-c-1_30.html</a> most efficient seasons a Falcons wide receiver has ever had. He led the league in passer rating and was ranked No. 1 in DVOA at his position by Football Outsiders. While Gabriel posted a lot of eye-popping statistics last season, one traditional number that jumps out more than any other is this nugget via Vaughn McClure at ESPN:

That’s impressive, to say the least. He also <a href="http://www.dolphinsjerseyofficial.com/shop-by-players-83-mark-clayton-jersey-c-1_38.html">Mark Clayton Jersey</a> ranked No. 7 in the NFL in yards per catch, three spots behind Julio Jones.

Gabriel recently signed Atlanta’s tender offer attached to a second-round draft pick. He will play out the 2017 season for $2.476 million.

Assuming he follows up on the good work he did last year, Gabriel is likely in for an enormous new contract next March. If the Falcons can sign him to a long-term extension below his open market value before then, it will be a huge coup <a href="http://www.billsshopofficial.com/shop-by-players-reggie-ragland-jersey-c-1_41.html">Reggie Ragland Jersey</a> for Atlanta’s front office.
