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 went on to earn two First Team All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowls, and he was considered one of the top offensive guards of the late 1980s; even the legendary Dr. Z once said he was the best. The former Pittsburgh Panther played four more seasons (three with Atlanta and one with Detroit) and was selected to the 1980's All-Decade Team.
