How The Drake London And Darnell Mooney One-Two Punch Works For The Falcons

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Hery Acosta | Last updated Jun 29, 2025 1:06 PM ET

London and Mooney are both coming off great seasons where Mooney had 992 yards and London had 1,271. With Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback for 2025, there's a higher chance that both will crack 1,000 yards, and both can have pro bowl level seasons.

While the one-two punch worked in 2024, it did not put them over the slump, but in 2025 both players will be looking to have their best seasons as pros. London is the clear first option, but Mooney has proven himself to be a very valuable second option on the Falcons.

London had his breakout season in 2024 where he arguably should have been a pro bowler, and he had career numbers all across the board. Mooney on the other hand, had his best season since 2021 when he had his sole 1,000-yard season.

The Falcons have a good receiving core, which includes Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge, who both look to have career years in 2025 as well. This core can open up plenty of opportunities all around the board for London and Mooney to have 1,000-yard seasons with minimal struggle.

London and Mooney will both be looked at as Wide Receiver ones by opposing teams, since either player can have a big game at any point. They can both open the game in many ways, get open deep and out run defenders. Those are some of the important traits that will have them helping the Falcons a lot in 2025.

The Wide Receiver core for the Falcons is one of the most intriguing in the league and can all make waves this season.
