Who will lead the Falcons in sacks this season?

The Falcons pass rush has been a punchline forever, and with good reason. With the exception of a handful of solid years, Atlanta has largely impacted the quarterback as frequently as I have from the comfort of my home on Sundays, which is to say not very much at all.

The team hit what we all hope is rock bottom in 2021, putting up a measly 18 sacks. That was 11 whole sacks less than the Eagles, who had the second-fewest in the NFL, and only one player had more than two on the year. That player, Dante Fowler, is now on the Cowboys.
