I put the call out to all of you to nominate Falcons offensive players worthy of being considered the best at their positions over the course of the 2010s, and you delivered. Now we’re ready to vote.
You won’t be surprised that there wasn’t a lot of pushback against the idea that Matt Ryan is the best quarterback, Julio and Roddy are the best receivers, and the left side of the line should be considered as the exclusive domain of Jake Matthews and Justin Blalock. There was division elsewhere, however, with a particularly surprising nominee at tight end.
We received a surprisingly low number of nominations—I blame the offseason—but I’ve taken those, listed the locks alongside the battles, and created polls for each contested position. Vote away, and we’ll tackle the defensive nominations tomorrow.
