As the Atlanta Falcons prepare for the 2025 season and look to answer many questions, it is likely the most important question is will they end their playoff drought, having missed out on postseason play for seven consecutive seasons.

On Tuesday, 92-9 The Game's Carl Dukes and Mike Bell were joined by Falcons wide receiver and special teams specialist, Khadarel Hodge, who explained to the afternoon duo why he believes the Falcons have the capability of finally returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

"We just keep putting together all the small pieces, getting better day by day, and never get comfortable," Hodge, who earned his first Pro Bowl nod last season as a Special Teamer, said.

"We have to stay hungry, it's a long season. 17 games, we have to be hungry the whole season and never get comfortable with records," Hodge said of the Falcons needing to come out and "compete" every week this season as they seek a playoff berth.
