About Drake London
Drake London catches footballs that have no business being caught. Contested catches in traffic, one-handed grabs over defenders, circus receptions where three guys are draped on him and he still comes down with the ball. His catch radius is absurd. He played through some of the most inconsistent quarterback play in the NFL during his early career and still managed to produce, which says everything about the kind of receiver he is. When the ball is anywhere in his zip code, Drake London is going to come down with it. The quarterback doesn't need to be accurate. He just needs to be in the general vicinity.
What makes London's situation interesting is the resilience factor. Atlanta's quarterback carousel meant Drake spent his early years catching passes from a rotating cast of arms with varying levels of accuracy and decision-making. Most young receivers would crumble in that environment. London just kept winning 50/50 balls like they were 90/10 balls. He's built like a power forward, runs routes with physicality that defensive backs hate dealing with, and has quietly become one of the most dependable receivers in football despite playing in an offense that couldn't decide who was throwing him the ball from one season to the next.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Drake London stand out as a receiver?
Size and hands. London is 6'4" with a catch radius that makes contested catches look routine. He doesn't need separation the way smaller receivers do because he can just go up and take the ball away from defenders. He also survived multiple quarterback changes early in his career without his production falling off a cliff, which is rare for a young receiver. The guy just catches everything.
