The Atlanta Falcons went into the 2016 season figuring their rookie class would see a lot of action, and that has been the case.
Three of the top four picks -- first-rounder Keanu Neal, second-rounder Deion Jones and fourth-rounder De'Vondre Campbell -- are starters on defense. Third-rounder Austin Hooper has become a more important part of the offense at tight end with veteran Jacob Tamme on injured reserve following shoulder surgery.
The class still has significant strides to make to close out the season, but collectively the group has shown signs of promise.
