Falcons Uniform History #47: Slim Pickings

Some jersey numbers in football aren't exactly coveted. Wide receivers represent numbers in the teens or eighties. Defensive ends will represent numbers in the fifties or nineties. The forty category is arguably the least coveted set of numbers in football history, particularly the latter forties. In the Falcons' uniform history series, we have reached that point, where players have been mostly forgotten about or vaguely remembered. One solid year will likely be the difference maker in determining who is the best Falcon of all time who wore 47 as a uniform number.

RB: Rick Badanjek

Badanjek only played eight games for Atlanta.
