The Atlanta Falcons are loaded with special talent, but which three players hold the most star power within their grasp heading into the 2019 season?

Over the last 10 seasons, the Atlanta Falcons have experienced success that most tenured Dirty Birds faithful will blush over. Did you know that the Falcons first back-to-back winning seasons didn’t occur until Thomas Dimitroff and Matt Ryan came onto the scene?

Since then, this franchise has won numerous division titles, several playoff games and an NFC Championship — all thanks to three of these star-powered players on the Falcons payroll.

I will admit, these three players all happen to play on the same side of the football, adding to the Falcons reputation of largely being a one-sided football team since 2000. It may not be fair, but in a time when offensive players are more marketable than defensive players, it is what it is.

Still, these three men have played a huge role in taking this Falcons franchise to heights its never been before. When healthy, this is one of the most dangerous and talented trios in the entire NFL.

You may already have an idea of who’s on this list, but I’d love to hear your opinion in the comments after clicking through the list. Which three players do you think have the most star power on this year’s Falcons roster?

(And no, Matt Bryant is no longer on the team. It’s something we’re all still dealing with.)
