When healthy, Justin Durant is one of the leagues best weak-side linebackers. The soon to be 30-year-old has played in all 16 games just once in his career, but when on the field is a menace. Durant will lineup alongside Worrilow and will have free range to do what he does best.

Durant brings a lot of experience to a very young defense and will become an instant leader to the guys around him. The former captain is all set to have a great 2015 season with his new team, the Atlanta Falcons.
