Falcons Uniform History: Oh no, not 22

What can be said about the jersey number than has given us such memories as Zeke Motta, Sean Thomas, Richard Williams, Brenard Wilson, Dennis Woodberry, Alton Montgomery, and Lenny McGill?

"Who?"

As of recent, 22 has given us Chevis Jackson, one year of Jacquizz Rodgers, two seasons of Asante Samuel, and the aforementioned Zeke Motta.

Despite 17 players wearing 22, there are slim picking through the bulk of the players.

John Mallory (1969-1971) seems to deserve an honorable mention. Mallory looked to be a competent special teamer and strong safety, with some decent punt returns and a few special team touchdowns.
