​The Atlanta Falcons haven’t done much in the way of bringing in new talent this offseason, but they have managed to lock up some of their franchise players for the long run.The biggest contract that they have handed out in 2026 was to their top wide receiver Drake London, who re-signed for four more years and $141 million, including $100 million in guarantees.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat made London the third-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL, trailing only Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals superstars Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ja’Marr Chase and putting him ahead of Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson in average salary.While he’s elite when it comes to the money, it seems executives around the league don’t see him as a top-10 talent at his position just yet. According to ESPN’s wide receiver rankings by polling execs anonymously, London missed out on the top 10, but he did at least earn an honorable mention – here’s what one coordinator had to say about his game.””Really solid in most areas, great at the 50-50 catch, great in the red zone. He won’t take the top off as often as some others, more of a possession guy, but really good in his role. He’d probably be more of a household name with better QB play.” Despite having to work with the likes of Desmond Ridder, Marcus Mariota and Taylor Heinicke, London has posted some pretty impressive numbers so far. Each year he’s been in the league he’s posted at least 866 receiving yards and has averaged over five touchdowns per season – he peaked in 2024 with 1,271 yards and nine scores.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIf Tua Tagovailoa can get into a better rhythm with London than Penix, it may be the biggest deciding factor in who winds up starting for the Falcons this year.This article originally appeared on Falcons Wire: Falcons star earns honorable mention in ESPN’s top-10 WR rankings
