Foye Oluokun is a Falcons success story. One of two sixth-round picks the Falcons made in 2018 who has turned into a player Atlanta leans heavily on—the other is Russell Gage—Oluokun has been one of the team’s most pleasant surprises as a starter. That’s not easy for any sixth round pick to do, but Oluokun took over after De’Vondre Campbell departed in free agency in 2020 and hasn’t looked back.
This season, he’s second in the NFL in tackles and (obviously) leads the team there, is tied for the team lead in interceptions, and is tied for second in sacks.
