Ranking the 30 greatest players in Atlanta Falcons history
These are the 30 best players in the history of the Atlanta Falcons franchise
Greatest Atlanta Falcons of all-time: No. 14 & 13
DE. John Abraham. 14. 44. Stats. . John Abraham. player. 14. 2006-2012
The Atlanta Falcons got themselves a pass rusher when they traded for John Abraham. Abraham had some dominant seasons for the Falcons' defense and had 68.5 sacks in his seven seasons. He was also a tackle for loss and a forced fumble machine. The Falcons did end up letting him walk a bit too early.
Keith Brooking. 13. 44. LB. 1998-2008. Keith Brooking. player. 13. Stats.
Keith Brooking could simply find the ball carrier. He was able to fly around the field, make plays, and do just about everything you would ask from a linebacker. His solo tackle stats are crazy and he had eight-straight 100-plus tackle seasons (nine if you want to count his first year in Dallas).
