The Atlanta Falcons made Drake London the first wide receiver off the board in the 2022 NFL draft, deeming the USC Trojan the best pass-catching prospect in a loaded class.
After two regular-season games, it’s safe to say they’re happy with their decision.
After an impressive Week 1 performance, London delivered more of the same in Week 2, catching his first career touchdown, and showing of his rare athleticism with a ridiculous hurdle that left a Los Angeles Rams defender grasping at air.
After missing most of the preseason with a knee injury, London is already looking like the No. 1 receiver the Falcons drafted him to be.
