Falcons featured two of PFF’s 10 highest-graded rookies in 2022

Before the 2023 NFL draft kicks off in a few weeks, let’s take one final look back at last year’s draft class. The Atlanta Falcons received contributions from several first-year players in 2022, but they finished the season with two of Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded rookies.

Wide receiver Drake London was able to shine despite playing in a run-heavy offense. The first-round pick finished with a Falcons rookie record for receptions in a season (72).  Then, in the fifth round, Atlanta found another gem.
