6) Younghoe Koo – K

It may not be the most fun to have a kicker on this list but the Atlanta Falcons no doubt have one of the best kickers in the entire league.

Younghoe Koo has been the definition of consistent ever since he arrived in Atlanta, he has gone out there and proved his worth every single time.

He may just be the most entertaining kicker out there.

On the year he has only missed one field goal, he is top-five in field goal percentage and just continues to go out there and make short kicks and long kicks.

Not much else you can say other than the team needs to get him signed to a long-term deal in the near future because he will be worth every penny, even if he is just a kicker.

5) Matt Ryan – QB

It has not been the greatest year for the Atlanta Falcons’ all-time leading passer, but we should have expected that with a new coach coming in.

Matt Ryan has been the model of consistency throughout his tenure in the NFL, he does not miss games and will just continue to go out there on Sundays and provide stable quarterback play for his team.

It has not been the cleanest year for him but when you have an offensive line that is not playing well at all, a wide receiver group that is devoid of talent, and a new coaching staff, it can be a lot to process. He is certainly doing the best he can with what he has.

He also had a stretch this season where he was playing like the best quarterback in the entire NFL, he was lighting it up.

Hopefully, the team and Matt Ryan can get everything back on track in the upcoming game against a tough New England Patriots team.
