The Athletic's Josh Kendall identified what the biggest concern is with the Atlanta Falcons roster heading into NFL training camp.
addressed many areas of their roster this offseason, but the team’s biggest question remains on the defensive side of the football.that could be difference makers along the edge. With the front seven having stalwarts such as Grady Jarrett and Nate Landman, that should be the area ofIn the secondary, the Falcons have Pro Bowler Jessie Bates III and a combination of solid safeties between DeMarcco Hellams and Richie Grant.
“Atlanta tried to bolster its pass rush this offseason by taking three defensive linemen and an edge rusher in the draft. Still, the only secondary help came from free agents who are fringe roster candidates at best. The Falcons’ new coaching staff talked up their returners at cornerback, but outside of A.J. Terrell, there’s no proven player at the position.
In a pass-happy NFL, Atlanta’s depth at this position is not ideal, especially if one of the three starters misses time due to injury. Overall, Kendall has a valid argument, and general manager Terry Fontenot should be looking at more options to address the room's depth before the season begins.
