There were a few options here, including Demaryius Thomas and Tebucky Jones, but Rison gets the nod. Most people don’t remember that he spent the first year of his career with the Colts, who used him in a trade package to get Jeff George as the top pick in the 1990 draft.

Ironically, the Colts would later trade George to the Falcons, where he spent a season with Rison. His five years in Atlanta became his longest tenure with any team and the best years of his career. He had over 1,000 yards receiving in four of those five years. He ended his career with over 10,000 receiving yards and five Pro-Bowl selections.
