Falcons records that are unlikely to be broken: Michael Turner goes wild

We’ve been talking a lot about records lately, because it’s fun to see where players stand on the all-time NFL leaderboards. Now we’ll turn our eyes to some franchise records, and specifically the ones that I think could stand for a long, long time, if not forever.

Let’s kick things off with Michael Turner. The Burner is a franchise great who was Mike Mularkey’s battering ram of choice from 2008-2011, and while he was done after the 2012 season, he put some truly magical years together for Atlanta. At his best, Turner was like a tank on roller blades, all power and terrifying size until he suddenly changed direction more gracefully than you’d ever expect.
