Falcons minicamp: Grady Jarrett, Dontari Poe pushing each other toward a common goal

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Perhaps no one was more excited about the free-agent signing of Dontari Poe this past offseason than Grady Jarrett.

And Jarrett’s reason is pretty simple.

“He’s been where I want to go, you know,” Jarrett said following Wednesday’s minicamp practice session, referring to the fact that Poe is a two-time Pro Bowler. "It was very exciting for me and for our whole team and city when he came and signed with us. It’s not going to do nothing but make us better."

Jarrett is entering his third year and started 14 of 16 games last season at defensive tackle.
