Falcons linebacker Duke Riley doesn’t have time on his side. Setting aside the fact that, according to the NFL Players Association, the average NFL career only lasts 3.3 years, Riley also welcomed a new teammate this week: Stephone Anthony, former Saints first rounder turned NFL roster surfer. With that, Riley went from being Foye Oluokun’s backup to a man who might hit the unemployment line within weeks.
That’d be a shocking turn of events, given some of the hype surrounding Riley following his addition to the team in 2017.
