Falcons' Bryan Cox: Grady Jarrett has elite skills

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- One of the players generating a buzz for the Atlanta Falcons this preseason is nose tackle Grady Jarrett, who continues to show up on film.

Jarrett's contribution often goes unrecognized because he plays on the interior of the defensive line. Plus all the attention has been on the addition of seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney and the slow development of second-year pass-rusher Vic Beasley Jr.

Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox is well aware of the immense talent Jarrett's possesses.

``That's the truck driver; Grady's just a workman,'' Cox said.
