Atlanta figures to start three of the most interesting, athletic linebackers in the NFL in 2018. Deion Jones is already a superstar, De’Vondre Campbell is a very good starter, and there’s enough talent in Duke Riley’s frame and frosty mullet to suggest his second season will go much better than his first.
The issue—and stop me if you’ve heard this with other positions—appears to be with depth. The Falcons have the always reliable Kemal Ishmael and the interesting rookie Foye Oluokun, but aside form that, there’s nothing here but undrafted free agents with unknown outlooks.
