Falcons roster battles to look forward to on defense and special teams this summer

The Atlanta Falcons camp battles on offense are mostly depth-related, but not so on defense. There, starting jobs and major rotational roles are up for grabs this summer, making this side of the ball the one with the most training camp-related intrigue.

What battles are set to come on defense and special teams? There are a few that come readily to mind.

Defensive line: Pecking order

Expected major contributors: Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, Ta’Quon Graham, LaCale London, Eddie Goldman (?)

The reality is that Grady Jarrett and David Onyemata are the sure things here if they start, and Zach Harrison is virtually guaranteed a major role after the light bulb came on late last year and he looked like an absolute beast.
