Koo wore the No. 7 for the last four seasons since joining the team in 2019 as a free agent. Prior to Koo wearing it, former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick made the No. 7 a staple in Atlanta when he wore it from 2001-2006.
The Falcons announced the jersey numbers for their 2023 rookie draft class as well on Monday afternoon.
