The best Falcons player to ever wear the number 55 was a pretty clear and easy choice. Defensive end John Abraham takes the honor.
While there have been several former Falcons to wear 55, Abraham's impact on the Falcons over his seven seasons in Atlanta was significantly greater than any other player to wear this number in franchise history. Abraham had 68.5 sacks for a total of 463 yards during his time in Atlanta, as well as 20 pass deflections and one interception. Abraham had a nose for the ball, also, with 25 forced fumbles as a Falcon.
