The Greatest Falcons WR set of All Time

by Adam Schultz on Jul 27, 2009 12:00 PM EDT

Per your votes, Andre Rison (possibly the first Falcon with his own action figure) is the greatest Falcons wide receiver of all time. Coming in a close second was Terrance Mathis. Following Mathis were Alfred Jenkins and Billy "White Shoes" Johnson.

With the WRs picked, we officially have an offense! Here's the rundown:

QB	Bartkowski	10
HB	Anderson	32
FB	Christian	44
TE	Crumpler	83
RT	Kunz	75
RG	Fralic	79
C	Van Note	57
LG	Thielemann	68
LT	Kenn	78
WR	Rison	80
WR	Mathis	81
WR	Jenkins	84
WR	Johnson	81

As no one really paid attention to the WR voting post's instructions, I'll repeat them: nominate some great Falcons DLs! We're gonna have to fast track the rest of these votes. The season is gratefully only a few weeks away and we need to get a move on!

Tony Casillas NT 86-90

DT Travis Hall
DE Mike Gann
DE Rick Bryan
DE John Zook
DT Moe Gardner
DT Ed Jasper
DE Jeff Yeates
DE Brady Smith

In addition to the ones already mentioned. I’m not linking every single one of them – check out their PFR pages. Pretty slim pickin’s at DT…

I was trying to figure out how in the world Casillas could have had 152 (unofficial) tackles in 1989 and not made the Pro Bowl. I found out Keith Millard had 18.0 sacks (as a DT? holy crap!!), and Jerry Ball had 73 (unofficial) tackles and 9.0 sacks. You could argue he should’ve made it over Ball, but I guess they liked his sack #s better…
