Atlanta Falcons need to embrace talent pipeline from Athens

According to Michael Carvell of DawgNation, the Atlanta Falcons have only drafted four UGA players since 2000….four! That’s an insane statistic considering how close the University of Georgia is to Atlanta.

I watch a lot of football. My weekends revolve around football during football season. I see plenty of UGA players scattered throughout the NFL finding great success, with some in recent years becoming Super Bowl champions. So, as a die hard UGA fan and Falcons fan, it angers me to see these UGA players having such great success on teams that aren’t the Falcons.
