When the Atlanta Falcons chose to take Roddy White with the No. 27 pick out of UAB in 2005, the pick was met with some skepticism by fans and the media. After all, there were some bigger names the Falcons brass had overlooked. Who was this Roddy guy?
As it turned out for Atlanta, the pick ended up being one of the best in team history and one of the best in the NFL during the 2000s. White ended up becoming the franchise record holder for receiving yards, catches, and receiving touchdowns during his 11 years in Atlanta.
