If you’re an Atlanta Falcons fan, you know all about wide receiver Taylor Gabriel. Much of the rest of the NFL world is getting their first taste on Sunday as Gabriel is dismantling the Arizona Cardinals, making their defense look absolutely silly…

Gabriel has certainly made a name for himself this year with the Falcons, primarily serving as a secondary option in the passing game. He has elevated his game since joining the Falcons, and is having one of the best games of his career against the Cardinals.

He now has four straight games with a touchdown, and this is the first multi-touchdown game of the season for the young speedster.

There were times in Cleveland where Gabriel flashed this kind of talent, but the Browns had a massive overhaul of the wide receiver position under the new regime, and Gabriel was apparently the odd man out.

Bad decision.

In Kyle Shanahan’s offense, Gabriel has now become a lethal weapon, capable of scoring from any part of the field.
