As the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been a disappointment. In two years with the Commanders and two with the Eagles, he has a total of just 1,519 career receiving yards.<\/p>\n
Now Dotson is on his third team after signing with the Falcons in March, and he thinks he\u2019s in the right place \u2014 for the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be one of the greatest,\u201d Dotson told Josh Kendall of TheAthletic.com. \u201cI\u2019m not afraid [of saying that]. I was talking to Jessie Bates, and he was talking about wanting to be the best who ever played, and I\u2019m comfortable with those sort of things. I want to be one of the best in the league. I want to show my talent. I haven\u2019t really gotten to do that<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Dotson signed a two-year, $15 million contract, but he says more important than the money was believing the Falcons had a plan to use him to the best of his ability.<\/p>\n \u201cThe big thing for me was going to a team where I felt like my talent could be showcased,\u201d Dotson said. \u201cI learned a lot in my first four years in the NFL from some great receivers and great coaches, but I feel like now is really my time to put my talents on display.\u201d<\/p>\n Dotson didn\u2019t get many balls thrown his way with the Eagles last year, but that hasn\u2019t affected his confidence.<\/p>\n \u201cI 100 percent believe in my talent and ability to make plays in this league,\u201d Dotson said. \u201cIt\u2019s just about getting the opportunity to do so. I didn\u2019t really have that opportunity the past couple years. Now I\u2019m looking to really do that, and I can\u2019t wait to make plays for this football team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been a disappointment.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-739310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
