A five-time Pro Bowler, Jessie "The Hammer" Tuggle was a force to be reckoned with on the Atlanta Falcons. The linebacker tallied over 1,800 tackles over the course of his career, all 14 years of which he spent with the Falcons.
Keith Brooking filled the gap left by Jessie Tuggle almost to a tee. Taking over the linebacker position, he would go to 5 consecutive Pro Bowls himself, starting in 2001, as he tallied over 1,400 tackles over the length of his career.
Before both Tuggle and Brooking, there was Tommy Nobis, who held down the linebacker position for Atlanta in the 1960s and 70s. The first-ever draft pick in franchise history, he would go on to make five Pro Bowls with the squad, even winning NFL Rookie of the Year in the first of those seasons in 1966.
A 17-year career with the Atlanta Falcons saw Mike Kenn solidify himself as a permanent staple of the franchise. Providing elite pass protection as an OT. Kenn would go on to make five consecutive Pro Bowls, starting in 1980.
Spending a portion of his career alongside Kenn, Jeff Van Note was the other member of the O-Line protecting QBs at an elite rate. As the Center for the Falcons for 18 seasons, he made six Pro Bowl selections, starting in 1974.
Over his 13 career year, Claude Humphrey solidified his standing as one of the most elite defensive ends in the league. He tallied 130 sacks in his career and allowed Atlanta to operate under the unstoppable Grits Blitz defense. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he made six Pro Bowls during his career.
One of the greatest wide receivers of all-time, Julio Jones lit the league on fire with his elite route running, tallying 13,000 receiving yards in his career, en route to seven Pro Bowl selections and two years leading the league in receiving yards.
