Falcons Uniform History, #24: A list of talented misfits

This particular long list leaves a lot to be desired, due to players being signed at the end of their respective careers' or not panning out.

Many players have worn the number 24 in Atlanta, yet none of them have evolved into being stars. These players consist of failing to develop as highly-touted prospects or clearly on the decline. It was odd to see not one star out of 23 players on the list. You will see some solid contributors, along with a potential rising star at the running back position.

FS: Patrick Bates

The former first-round pick (twelfth pick overall) had a short-lived career in Atlanta.
