Earlier today, you saw me predict a sack and an interception for De’Vondre Campbell against the Bills. I did that both because I think the Falcons will ask him to spend a lot of time staring down Tyrod Taylor in an intimidating fashion and because Campbell is really good.
You can’t throw a rock online at the moment without hitting a sportswriter breathing heavily over De’Vondre’s excellence thus far in 2017, and he’s unquestionably made the leap from a promising linebacker to a good one in short order.
I heard an offhand rumor before the draft last year that the Falcons might have been considering Campbell earlier than the second round, something that seemed odd at the time given his projected round.
