FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- When an original movie enthralls and captivates its audience with originality and excitement, the sequel is hard-pressed to match that feeling. Keanu Neal’s second season, however, may turn out much closer to “The Empire Strikes Back” than “Jaws 2.”

As a rookie, Neal finished second on the team with 106 total tackles. He defended nine passes and forced five fumbles while starting 14 games for the Falcons.
