Former NFL defensive end John Abraham, nicknamed “The Predator,” is being honoured by the Atlanta Falcons for his contribution to the franchise.
The Falcons inducted him into their Ring of Honor on October 11, 2026, during their game against the Baltimore Ravens. Abraham finished his 15-season NFL career with 133.5 sacks, five Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro honours. John Abraham was born on May 6, 1978, in Timmonsville, South Carolina. He played college football at the University of South Carolina before the New York Jets selected him with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Across 15 NFL seasons, Abraham recorded 133.5 sacks and 48 forced fumbles. John Abraham has an estimated net worth of $26.2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His earnings came during a 15-season NFL career that included spells with the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals.
He earned five Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro honours during his career. His career sack total places him among the NFL’s most productive pass-rushers. One of them, Ayumi Abraham, has been mentioned publicly in connection with her father’s support for young athletes. She plays girls flag football at North Atlanta High School. His long career as a pass-rusher, along with contracts across three NFL franchises, helped establish his financial standing.
Abraham has four daughters, according to the Atlanta Falcons’ official website.
