Roddy White looking to make more yards after catch

"Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has made it to the past two Pro Bowls. He was voted onto the team after the 2008 season and was added as a replacement last season.

But he has been present throughout the minicamps and organized team activities while working to improve his game.

After his third consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season, White wants more yards and believes he can improve his yards after a catch, which is commonly called YAC in the wide receiver meeting room.

White led the team with 392 yards after catches last season, followed by Tony Gonzalez's 240. But White averaged just 4.6 after a catch and Gonzalez averaged 2.9. Michael Jenkins had 126 yards after the catch, but averaged just 2.5 yards.

In 2008, Harry Douglas averaged 5.0 yards after the catch as a rookie."
