The Atlanta Falcons exercised their fifth-year option for wide receiver Drake London on Wednesday.
London, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, will earn a guaranteed $16.817 million in 2026.
London set career highs across the board with 100 catches for 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Durable and dependable, he has 241 receptions for 3,042 yards and 15 scores in 50 games (48 starts).
“You know how we feel about Drake: He’s a stud on the field,” Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot said during the NFL draft. “He’s everything we’re about. Just like we’re just talking about being obsessed with the game. Obviously, he’s a good man off the field, but he blacks out when it’s time to play and when it’s time to compete, and he will do anything he can to rip your face off and win the game. That’s who he is, and that’s what we want.”
NFL teams have until Thursday to exercise the fifth-year options for 2022 first-round picks.
