Jeff George played in just three seasons for the Falcons in the mid 90’s and was highly touted but never quite lived up to his true potential. George ranks fifth in franchise history in passing yards with 8,575.

Known as a loudmouth, George threw for a career high 4,143 yards in 1996 and 24 touchdowns. While George put up great numbers while with the Falcons, he let his mouth get in the way of his play which ultimately cost him his career in Atlanta.
