Jeff Van Note, who spent his entire 18-year NFL career in Atlanta, died Friday at 80. The team shared the news of his passing, but didn’t give a cause of death. Van Note joined the Falcons after they selected him in the 11th round of the 1969 NFL Draft out of Kentucky. He started his NFL career at linebacker before coach Norm Van Brocklin moved him to center. That change helped shape one of the longest careers in Falcons history. Van Note earned the starting job in 1970 and held it for years. He played in 246 games and started 226, interestingly he missed only four games during his career. Also, he also made six Pro Bowls and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 1979 and 1982.
