For the bulk of the Atlanta Falcons players, it's been a whirlwind of an offseason. A new coaching staff is in place, which means it's time to prove yourself. While some players have an idea where they'll fit in the offense, D. Orlando Ledbetter of AJC.com reports that wide receiver Devin Hester is not one of those players.

When asked about his role in the offense, Hester simply stated that he wasn't sure what it will end up being.

“It’s still up in the air,” Hester told AJC.com. “I really don’t know as of right now.”

“The new coaches want us to compete right now and may the best man win,” Hester said.

Hester's deadly speed alone should make him an intriguing factor in the Falcons offense in 2015. When it comes to wide receiver depth, though, the Falcons are of course led by Julio Jones and Roddy White. After that is where it gets interesting, as Hester, Leonard Hankerson and Justin Hardy will likely all battle it out.
