Ranking the Atlanta Falcons top 5 players under 25

The Atlanta Falcons have a host of young players ready to produce on both sides of the ball.

The past few years have seen the Atlanta Falcons transform into one of the NFL’s most talented teams.  The Falcons have been successful in shaping all three phases of their team. Offensively, the team has created a quarterback wide receiver pairing that most teams drool over.  And that’s just for starters on offense.  They also have one of the most dynamic running back tandems in all of the NFL.

Defensively,  Dan Quinn has built a suffocating scheme from his Seattle days making Atlanta’s defense a must watch on Sundays. The fourth-year Falcons coach has transformed a secondary stocked with young talent. And the special teams unit has also gained a lot of traction with imposing their will on opposing offenses with their steady play. The Falcons have definitely put together a dominant roster. And that roster possesses a nice mix of veterans and youngsters.  Both sides are chomping at the bit to keep their playoff, and Superbowl hopes alive.

The well-known stars like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, and Vic Beasley, are definitely key names to keep an eye on as far as making plays throughout the year. However there are some under the radar, impactful players who will also be looking to make their mark for a team primed to play in their hometown come February.

Oh, and by the way…they’re not even 25 yet.
