The Atlanta Falcons celebrated Pro Bowl selections on Thursday, with standout players Chris Lindstrom and KhaDarel Hodge earning nominations alongside eight alternates. However, the absence of third-year wide receiver Drake London from the alternate list raised eyebrows, especially considering his impressive statistics. London ranks among the top receivers, with 90 catches placing him eighth, 1,084 yards at ninth, and seven touchdowns tying him for 13th in the league.

Despite facing quarterback inconsistency throughout his career, London has thrived this season. He and teammate Darnell Mooney are set to become the first duo in the NFL to surpass 1,000 receiving yards each. Competing against established talents like Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb, London's performance this year has been noteworthy. While other receivers were recognized for Pro Bowl bids, London's numbers suggest he is deserving of similar accolades.
