ATLANTA — Atlanta Falcons star Drake London isn’t the only one in his life saying yes to a big proposal.

Weeks after he agreed to stay in Atlanta with a new contract, London proposed to his longtime girlfriend Sofia Gabby. And she said yes. The Falcons shared the happy news on their social media pages Tuesday.

The couple met during their time at the University of Southern California. The Falcons drafted London out of USC with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

London recently signed a 4-year, $141 million contract extension with the Falcons to become the third-highest-paid receiver in the league.

In four seasons with Atlanta, London is averaging 12.8 yards per catch with 3,961 total receiving yards and 22 receiving touchdowns. His career-best season happened in 2024 with 100 receptions for 1,271 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
