FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Drake London's performance in his first two NFL seasons was nothing to sneeze at, but the former eighth overall pick is putting up the best numbers of his career in Year 3.
Through 14 games, London has set new career highs across the board with 78 receptions for 919 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games has begun — you can cast yours here — and London's continued progression as the Falcons' No. 1 wide receiver is worthy of recognition. Let's take a closer look as to why that is.
How London stacks up to the competition
Among all NFC wide receivers, London is fourth in targets, sixth in receptions, seventh in receiving yards and tied for fifth in touchdowns.
He's compiled this production despite have a true No. 2 option alongside him for the first time in his career. London and Darnell Mooney are the only two teammates in the NFC to each have more than 870 yards receiving through Week 15. Despite Mooney's presence, however, London is still having the best year of his career. He's taken his game up a level in 2024.
Notable Next Gen Stat
A contested-catch specialist, London has 16 tight-window receptions this season, which are the most in the league. His ability to come down with the ball in 50-50 situations, aided by London's basketball background, creates a high level of confidence between him and his quarterback. It's no surprise, then, that he's remained a favorite target for each quarterback he's worked with since entering the league.
Best game of the season
London's best game of the season, with three games left to play, came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. In the Falcons' 36-30 overtime win, London paced all receivers with 12 catches for 154 yards and one touchdown. His 18-yard score in the first quarter capped off a seven-play, 70-yard drive for Atlanta and culminated in a headstand celebration.
It was the second-highest, single-game yardage total of London's career. London's most productive game, in terms of yards, also came against the Buccaneers. He caught 10 passes on 11 targets for 172 yards against them in Week 14 of the 2023 season.
