The Falcons like the Sooners. Since 1966, Atlanta has drafted more players from Oklahoma than any other school. Most notable was nose tackle Tony Casillas, whom the Falcons selected 2nd overall in the 1986 NFL Draft. Casillas spent five years in Atlanta, accumulating 478 tackles - the most ever by any Falcons defensive lineman.
