At this exact moment, the Falcons have one of their strongest linebacker corps in the last decade-plus, if not longer. It has been a long, bumpy road to get here, with a handful of a good players and great seasons along the way.
The Falcons have invested multiple early round picks into the position group over time, including a first rounder (Sean Weatherspoon), two second rounders (Curtis Lofton and Deion Jones), multiple third rounders (Akeem Dent and Duke Riley), and a raft of late rounders and undrafted players.
