1. Atlanta Falcons (No. 4)

Whenever you’re known for choking in big games or losing big leads, you’re probably not a franchise that many guys want to play for, but Justin Fields has to look at Atlanta like a premier opportunity to lead his home-state team to the promised land and crush those ugly narratives about the Falcons.

Being from Georgia, this would have to be the hopeful landing spot for Fields as well because who wouldn’t want the opportunity to head back home and lead the team you grew up rooting for to a Super Bowl?

Matt Ryan is getting up there in age and there’s reason to believe he’s on track to retirement in the next couple of years and he would be the perfect guy to show Fields the ropes. Fans would love to see Ryan mold his replacement and teach him the ins and outs of the position in the NFL.

Fields would be the most mobile quarterback to play for the Falcons since Michael Vick and while he’s not nearly as electric with his legs, he could give fans nice flashbacks.

There’s talent all over the offense and the Falcons aren’t all that far from contending again.
