The Atlanta Falcons and 24-year-old wide receiver Drake London came to terms on a massive contract extension this week that makes him the third-highest-paid player at his position in the NFL. London was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and the first wide receiver selected. He hasn't disappointed. Despite a revolving door of quarterbacks, London has had at least 866 yards in each of his four seasons. His best season came in 2024 with 1,271 and nine touchdowns in 17 games. He increased his yards per game last season from 74.8 in 2024 to 76.6, but he missed five games with a knee bruise. He was on pace for 1,302 yards and 13 touchdowns in 17 games, despite the erratic quarterback play from Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins. To the outsider, London's deal opened some eyes for a player who has just one 1,000-yard season and has never made the Pro Bowl, but those who have watched London know he's a top 10 receiver in the league. The Verdict from a Former DB The Pat McAfee Show agreed. Pat McAfee asked co-host Darius Butler his thoughts on the signing. Butler played nine years in the NFL, including six seasons with the Indianapolis Colts from 2012 to 2017. Butler didn't mince words when praising the Falcons for London's deal."I mean, absolute stud," Butler said. "Lock him up, pay him. This is a no-brainer to lock him up. He falls now as the 3rd-highest-paid wide receiver. So you start to look around the league at some of these other receivers who either get new deals or get that first big paycheck, like Puka Nacua, for example, out in LA, How would this impact him?
