Because they drafted one in the early rounds last year.

4th round 133 Atlanta Falcons Levine Toilolo TE Stanford Pac-12



quote:

Only 2.7 percent of Matt Ryan's 2013 throws targeted an in-line tight end, the lowest percentage in the league last year.
The stat is skewed because Tony Gonzalez so frequently aligned in the slot, but throwing to in-line or "Y" tight ends hasn't been a big part of OC Dirk Koetter's passing attack. The Falcons will play base-three-receiver offense with Gonzo retired, leaving Levine Toilolo to fill the in-line role. Expect Toilolo to see very limited volume



I guess they will just get Harry D to see Tony's targets?
