Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday used its fifth year option for comprehensive receiver Drake London.
London, number 8 overall pick in 2022 NFL draft, will guarantee $ 16.817 million in 2026.
London last season with 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns with 100 catches in the entire board.
Durable and reliable, she has 241 receptions for 3,042 yards and 15 scores (48 starts) in 50 games.
“You know how we feel about Drake: he is a stud on the field,” Falcons General Manager Terry Fontanote said during the NFL draft. “Everything that we are about. As we are just talking about being obsessed with the game. Obviously, he is a good man away from the field, but when he is time to play and when it is time to compete, he gets out, and he can do anything that he can rip and win your face and win the game. That is what we want, that is what he wants.”
NFL teams have until Thursday to use the fifth year options for the first round pics of 2022.
