Top 10 Best Atlanta Falcons Players Going Into the 2018 Season
While 28-3 may haunt this franchise for eternity, they still have a talented roster and high hopes for 2018. But who among their roster is the best? We’re looking at the top ten best Atlanta Falcons players going into the 2018 season.
Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones is a current wide receiver who plays for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. Jones was selected sixth overall in 2011 to the Atlanta Falcons, and since made it to one Super Bowl.
Matthew Thomas "Matt" Ryan, nicknamed "Matty Ice," is an American football quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. He won’t have another MVP season, but he’ll be pretty dang good. He made the playoffs the second year in a row for Atlanta and even won a game against the heavily favored Rams. He is the man for Atlanta, and he can stay consistent for a few years yet.
Devonta Freeman is an American football running back for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. A solid 2017 season had him rushing for over 800 yards and 7 touchdowns, and catching another. It was not one of his greatest seasons, but I think he’ll be a top ten back in 2018. Not to mention he’s part of one of the best running back duos in the NFL.
Javon Alexander "Alex" Mack is an American football center for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. Mack is the leader of Atlanta’s offensive line like a center should be. He has plenty of pro bowl seasons ahead of him as one of the leagues premier centers.
Tevin Ford Coleman is an American football running back for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
Jones made his first pro bowl in 2017, racking up 138 tackles, 3 interceptions, and a sack. He’ll definitely produce more pro bowl caliber seasons in the future.
Neal also made his first pro bowl in 2017, with 118 tackles, 3 forced fumbles, and an interception, all while starting 16 games. Atlanta’s young defense just keeps getting better.
Desmond Trufant is an American football cornerback for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League.
Another Falcons receiver from Alabama who will be a good number two receiver behind Julio Jones. Ridley will produce in 2018.
Victor "Vic" Beasley Jr. is an American football outside linebacker for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League.
