Back to the Atlanta Falcons Newsfeed

UGA & GA Tech products don’t get enough attention from the Atlanta Falcons

In the history of the franchise, that Atlanta Falcons have drafted 606 college prospects since their first draft back in 1966; on average that is just over 11 new draft picks per season.

Of the 606 draft picks in the history of the franchise, just 15 of them have been from either in state schools – UGA or Georgia Tech. With all of the prospects that those two schools have turned out of the years, one would think that the Falcons would have the advantage of driving an hour in either direction to see these guys play.

Only one of those 15 were taken in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft; Keith Brooking back in 1998.
