DJ Chark is already flashing in Falcons camp with the kind of playmaking that could shake up Atlanta’s receiving corps.
The paint isn't even dry on his new contract, but DJ Chark is already making noise in Atlanta.
The Falcons shared a quick clip on social media showing the veteran wide receiver hauling in a clean over-the-shoulder grab during practice, adding a fire emoji and tagging the receiver like a proud hype man. A simple post sharing on X.com (formerly Twitter) showing the support on the new signee of the team bringing excitement to fans of what he could be next to the already star studded receiving corps.
With questions surrounding Atlanta’s wide receiver room outside of Drake London, Chark’s performance in camp could be one of the under-the-radar storylines worth watching. He’s been a starter in this league. He’s gone for 1,000 yards. And when healthy, he’s still one of the fastest, most vertical threats in the league.
The connection with rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. could be a key subplot heading into preseason. Whether he ends up as WR2 or a deep-threat specialist, Chark’s ability to stretch the field adds another layer to a retooled Falcons offense.
It’s just one catch. One rep. One tweet.
But for a team looking to bounce back and turn potential into production, moments like these are exactly how you start to build trust.
Chark’s heating up. The Falcons took notice. So should the rest of the league.
