PFF's Breakout Candidate for Atlanta Falcons would Give Defense Major Boost

Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker predicted Atlanta Falcons 2022 second-round pick to break out during the 2024 season.

But Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker argued no one should forget about a Day 2 pick the Falcons made two years ago – edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie.“The Falcons lost both Calais Campbell and Bud Dupree but didn’t draft an edge rusher until the third round,”. “As a result, second-year players like Ebiketie will be expected to elevate their production from last year.

As Locker explained, the Falcons didn’t re-sign Campbell or Dupree this offseason. So, it’s very likely Ebiketie will have the opportunity to build off his 6-sack season with more playing time in 2024. Although Ebiketie’s efficiency was impressive, he played 131 fewer snaps his second season than his rookie year. Decreasing playing time is not really a sign of a breakout candidate.

Atlanta didn’t add an edge rusher in free agency and didn’t address the position at No. 8 overall in the draft.
