Falcons Uniform History #62: Who else but the Mud Duck?

When it comes to getting the best value for late-round draft picks, the Mud Duck easily ranks as one of the best in Falcons history — and arguably league history.

Todd McClure was drafted 237th overall out of LSU by Atlanta in 1999 and spent all 13 seasons with the team.

After he tore his ACL in training camp during his rookie season, he became the Falcons' starting center in Week 9 of the 2000 season and never looked back.

He set the franchise record for consecutive starts with 144 and finished his career with 195 total games started.
