Dwight Freeney has played on four different teams, for over 14 years, and continues to contribute. Freeney has three sacks on the season and has helped an Atlanta squad become one of the best pass rushing teams in the league.

Freeney has literally accomplished everything you can as a NFL player. A former Super Bowl champion, a seven-time Pro Bowler, and a former AFC Defensive Player of the Year.

While he mostly plays as a situational pass rusher nowadays, that’s still impressive that at his age (36) he’s making an impact. The Falcons are in prime position to win the division and get back to the playoffs.
