One of the more popular Atlanta Falcons of his day, Bill Fralic, was the second overall Draft Pick in 1985 and immediately caught the attention of the Falcons fanbase as an All-Rookie Selection.

Fralic would then be chosen for the next two First Team All-Pros and next four Pro Bowls and was considered to be in the upper echelon of Offensive Guards in the last half of the 1980s, and even the legendary Dr. Z said at one point that he was the best.  The former Pittsburgh Panther would play four more seasons (three with Atlanta and one with Detroit) and be selected to the 1980's All-Decade Team.
