Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Deion Sanders, and Claude Humphrey

Humphrey is in the Hall of Fame and was a six-time Pro Bowler back when that meant something. He's the fourth to go with the obvious other three.

I also gave Mike Vick and Jesse Tuggle some thought here.

Who is on the Falcons’ Mount Rushmore? Deion Sanders, Matt Ryan, Julio Jones….?? Scott Case? - By brick September 21, 2026 at 05:37:57 PM

  - I know Deion is obvious to some but he played there 5 years and didn’t start 4-6 games in 3 of those.* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 06:51:37 PM
    - Yeah but he was obviously the best player in the NFL at his position for much of that time and you can't say that about too many Falcons. - By GritsGoBlue September 21, 2026 at 06:56:37 PM

  - Not a bad choice. How many NFL franchises have an OL in their Mount Rushmores? - By brick September 21, 2026 at 05:58:45 PM
    - Patriots with John Hannah and Bengals with Anthony Munoz.* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 06:02:36 PM
      - Good calls* - By brick September 21, 2026 at 06:04:05 PM
        
        Oilers had Mathews and Munchak. Steelers and Webster may be a stretch. Larry Allen?* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 06:07:06 PM
        
        No to Larry Allen. He has a great case among true ball knowers. But not glamorous enough when you have Landry, Emmitt, Staubach, Aikman, Irvin, Bob Lilly, Randy White* - By Boom King September 21, 2026 at 06:20:01 PM
        
        Landry is a coach. Alllen is arguably the beat OL of all time, he belongs. If you want to do it on merit, he belongs. Staubach over the incredibly overrated Aikman.* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 06:27:56 PM
  - Ahhh, yep. What about Fralic?* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 05:52:51 PM
- William Andrews.* - By MasterBates September 21, 2026 at 05:47:52 PM
- Uhh, Tony Gonzalez? Come on, man** - By Brad September 21, 2026 at 05:44:09 PM
  - Eh, he played most of his career in Kansas City* - By brick September 21, 2026 at 05:47:38 PM
- Steve Bartkowski! * - By jonsbrother September 21, 2026 at 05:41:24 PM
  - I will defer to Falcons fans but a good, not great QB taken 1/1 over Randy White - By brick September 21, 2026 at 06:10:09 PM
    - Yeah, he was perfectly fine but not great. Also struggled to stay healthy. - By GritsGoBlue September 21, 2026 at 06:59:04 PM
- andre "bad moon" rison imo* - By Daytripper September 21, 2026 at 05:38:17 PM
  - Hard- valenti* - By ameriKa September 21, 2026 at 06:07:59 PM
  - Thats a reasonable choice for #4. He was only there for a few seasons - By brick September 21, 2026 at 05:46:28 PM
