Falcons Uniform History #42: Respect To Riggs

Many Americans considered the 1980’s, as one of the most exciting times to be alive. The glory years of basketball, boxing, and music kept everyone entertained. Unfortunately for Falcon fans, they would like to delete the 1980’s from their memory. Despite having a two-time All-Pro running back, it didn’t save Atlanta from being constantly beaten on a weekly basis. Gerald Riggs headlines this list, as his absurd production deserves recognition. This list also features several forgotten players and underachieving first round picks that wore number 42.

CB: Sean Boyd

Boyd was drafted in the fifth round of the 1996 NFL Draft.
