Adrian Clayborn was brought in to rush the passer for the Atlanta Falcons. His size and speed make for a unique set of characteristics which allow him to standout over most. He isn’t Vic Beasley. He uses his size to his advantage and should make a great impact on the Falcons in 2015.

Clayborn didn’t have very many snaps in the first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, but that will change over the final three games. He won’t start on every down, but you can expect him to be in the game more times than not in crucial situations. He may be the steal of the Falcons’ free agent class in 2015.
