Things may have been drastically different for the Atlanta Falcons had they not passed on Justin Fields during the 2021 NFL Draft

Penix was impressive, but his limited body of work landed him lower on the list than some of the other quarterbacks from his draft class. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was ranked No. 1, Bears QB Caleb Williams was ranked sixth, and Bo Nix of the Broncos landed at No. 7.

Many pundits are comparing Jalon Walker to Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons as they have similar skill sets.

Matthew Judon's run with the Atlanta Falcons was disappointing for both sides. Statistically, the four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher had his worst season in 2024 since his rookie year. He only mustered 5.

As we look ahead to the 2025 NFL season, Falcons fans are wondering if this will be the year the team finally snaps its seven-year playoff drought. With a loaded offense, led by second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr ., and revamped defense, Atlanta should make some noise this season.
