When the Falcons’ defense has been discussed from a national viewpoint, it’s been largely labeled as a unit with two legitimate players and a bunch of guys. Grady Jarrett and Deion Jones have established themselves as top players at their respective positions, although Jones has work to do this season following a disappointing season by his standards.
A.J. Terrell may receive a mention because he was a first-round pick who showed flashes last season. Questions about what happened to Dante Fowler could emerge as part of the conversation. The rest of the discussion largely consists of Dee Pees’ impressive credentials and how he has his work cut out for him.
