The Atlanta Falcons have one of the most talented yet mysterious rosters in the NFL. The team has a handful of young players who could rival any team in the league. Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Jalon Walker, Xavier Watts and Kyle Pitts are all under the age of 25.
While ESPN ranked Atlanta's roster among the worst in the NFL ahead of the 2026 season, not everyone agrees with that sentiment. In fact, aside from the quarterback position, there's a ton to like about this team.
CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan ranked the NFL's top 25 players under the age of 25, and two Falcons made the cut. Fresh off of signing a $141 million extension, London landed at No. 19 on CBS Sports' list.

"While London doesn't exactly get the same shine as some other elite receivers, he's every bit as talented," wrote Sullivan. "Even with this monster extension, one could make the case that he's still underrated in league circles. London is one of just five players with at least 2,000 receiving yards and 15-plus receiving touchdowns since 2024. He's done that despite lackluster quarterback play throughout his career."
London only has a single 1,000-yard season under his belt, but considering the quarterbacks that he's played with, his numbers are actually fairly impressive.

I bet you don't have to guess who the other Falcons player to make the list was. Bijan Robinson actually landed the top spot on CBS Sports' top 25 players under 25.

"He's arguably the best dual-threat running back in the league and has put together a start to his career unlike anything we've seen before," argued Sullivan. "As we noted with his teammate Drake London, Robinson has posted those numbers despite subpar quarterback play for much of his career, making them even more mesmerizing. When the Falcons give him the ball, Robinson is liable to make a house call at any moment and is one of the game's true lightning rods. And he's just entering his prime."
Falcons fans won't dispute a single thing that was said about Robinson. After all, they've seen it first hand for three incredible seasons. Last season, Robinson topped 2,000 all-purpose yards in what was his best performance yet.
Despite his elusive nature, the former Texas Longhorns standout doesn't get enough credit for his toughness and durability. If the team can stabilize the quarterback position, there's no telling just how good Robinson could be going forward.
