The Atlanta Falcons drafted Drake London with a top ten pick because they firmly believed he could become a high-end top receiver. Through the first two seasons of his career, London showed plenty of promise, but his upside was capped by poor quarterback play.
The third year breakout campaign he just enjoyed left no doubt about just how good London is, though. With Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix throwing him the ball instead of Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder, and Taylor Heinicke, London put up career highs in receptions (100), yards (1,271), and touchdowns (9), and ranked 9th in receptions, 4th in yards, and 9th in touchdowns among NFL receivers and tight ends.
