Saints News, 6/30/14: Do Falcons Have Toughest WR Duo?

Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson thinks so. “The best duo in the NFL, I’d probably have to say that’s pretty accurate,” Peterson told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “Both of those guys are Pro Bowl caliber receivers, both of them are All-Pro caliber receivers. Both of them do a lot of good things for Matt Ryan to make his job a little easier. But to say they are the best tandem, I’d probably have to say that he’s probably right.” This Who Dat doesn't doubt that Julio Jones is one of the best in the NFL, but Roddy White was plagued by injury most of last year. Can he bounce back from that?
