The Atlanta Falcons nearly ended the 2024 season with two 1,000-yard receivers. While Drake London finished well beyond the milestone, Darnell Mooney came up eight yards shy (992) after sitting out of the team’s finale.
Nonetheless, both receivers should be better than ever with Michael Penix Jr. solidifying the quarterback position in 2025 and beyond. It won’t be long before London is routinely mentioned among the NFL’s elite pass-catchers.
The former USC star has the numbers to prove it, finishing fourth in receiving yards with 1,271. Check out the top 32 receivers from the 2024 NFL season below.
