The Falcons have been a snakebitten team throughout their entire history, but one thing has consistently gone well for them over the past three decades: Having one of the league’s better receivers in the fold, if not two at once.
Since adding Andre Rison back in 1990, the Falcons had only one dry spell where they didn’t have a player like Rison, Terance Mathis, Roddy White, Julio Jones or Calvin Ridley to throw to, and that was from 2002 to 2006, which coincided with Mathis leaving and Roddy scuffling for the first two years of his career. Since then, White, Jones and Ridley have combined for nearly 26,000 yards, nearly 150 touchdowns, and consistent greatness.
