Report: Brian Finneran's influence on the team is still present today

Atlanta Falcons alumnus Brian Finneran is best described as scrappy and old school. He wasn't the most dynamic wide receiver during his time in the NFL, but he got the job done. What he lacked in straight line speed, he made for with smart route running, length, and sheer determination.

If you just recently found your way to Falcons fanhood, you probably don't fully appreciate Finneran. He joined the Falcons in 2000 after a brief stint in the now defunct NFL Europe. He was with the team until 2010, amassing 3,000 receiving yards, most effectively as a slot receiver.
