NFLPA names two Falcons rookies as rising stars for 2022

If all goes well—extremely well—the Falcons will have Desmond Ridder tossing touchdowns to Drake London for years to come. The NFL Player’s Association certainly seems to see the vision there, because they’ve named both players to a list of 10 rookies set to break out in 2022.

London clocked in at No. 2 on the list, while Ridder took the No. 9 spot in the top ten. The Falcons join the Jets (Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, Nos. 3 and 5 respectively) as the only team with two rookies on the list, which is pretty exciting when you consider one of them was drafted in the third round.
