Over the course of the their franchise history, the Atlanta Falcons have only drafted three players who found their way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They are Claude Humphrey, Deion Sanders, and Brett Favre. Unfortunately, many remember Sanders for his play in San Francisco or Dallas, and Favre earned his gold jacket for his time in Green Bay.
Now, there are other Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers who have spent significant time in Atlanta, such as Morten Andersen and Tony Gonzalez, but the Falcons overall are very under-represented in Canton.
Let’s look at some Falcons who should be in the Hall of Fame or at the very least have a case for consideration.
