1 / 7
Falcons' top draft pick Vic Beasley - who wore No. 3 at Clemson - chose No. 44 as his jersey number (a new rule approved in March allows linebackers to chose numbers from 40-49). The last Falcon to wear No. 44 was running back Jason Snelling (right), who retired in 2013. Other Falcons notables to wear No. 44 include Steve Broussard, Fred McCrary and John Settle.
