The wide receiver expressed a desire to move past the financial milestone quickly and focus entirely on his upcoming performance goals on the field.

"There is always going to be a bit of me that is celebrating this, but it happened. That’s in the past now," said London.

"All I have to do is think ahead and think forward and knock off my goals and keep going."

London currently ranks 10th in franchise history for receiving yards and trails Julio Jones for the second-most yards by an Atlanta player through their first four seasons.

"I don’t know too much about records," said London.

"I just try to be better than I was the year before, but at the same time, I am chasing that unconsciously."

"I just want to be the best I can possibly be, not only for my family but this team."

He has caught passes from five different quarterbacks in Atlanta and remains focused on securing the football regardless of who is throwing it during the upcoming season.

"I pride myself on, no matter who throws me the ball, I am supposed to catch it," said London.

"I don’t really care where you throw it, how you throw it, what it looks like. If you throw it in my vicinity, it should be my ball."

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who is entering the fourth year of his own rookie contract, celebrated his teammate's new financial security.

"I called him immediately. I was so happy for him," said Robinson.
