With PJ pope's TD today, I was wondering who was the last Falcon to score a TD in the NFL?
Did Charles Sharon get one with Jacksonville last year?

Sharon has no NFL receptions that I could find.
Not sure about defensive players, but I believe the last falcon to score in the NFL may have been Mark Miller, QB with the Browns. Mark had a rushing TD and a passing TD in 1978.

However, I then remembered Dave Preston. He scored last in a game in 1983

This is a pretty neat site if someone else has some time to look up other former falcons. I gotta run...

Martin Bayless returned a fumble for TD in 1994 for the Redskins playing against the Giants.

Jeff Groth's last TD in the NFL was 1985. It has to be Martin.
