Falcons | Taylor Gabriel among potential punt returners
The Atlanta Falcons are considering using WR Taylor Gabriel as their punt returner, although WR Andre Roberts is considered the favorite to return both kickoffs and punts this season. Gabriel gained experience returning punts in college and during the preseason for the Cleveland Browns several years ago. In addition to Gabriel and Roberts, WRs Reginald Davis III, Devin Fuller, Marvin Hall and Josh Magee practiced at the position Friday, July 28.
Footballguys View: Gabriel is fast, quick and elusive in the open field. He’ll be effective in limited targets on offense as the no3 WR behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. The Falcons may just want to get the ball in his hands as much as possible by using him in the return game.
