The Falcons have thousands of options in the Free Agency, but these three players are special.

Nate Paxton, Defensive End

Nate Paxton from Georgia State University is someone who can become better with the Falcons staff. Though he only produced two tackles in 2015 and has been an NFL free agent ever since, he is strong, quick and powerful off the edge, just like Takkarist McKinley. He’s also a hard hitting player, just like Keanu Neal. The defensive tackle was also an All-County Selection for Clarkston High School before getting an athletic scholarship to Georgia State. Paxton seems like a perfect fit in Quinn’s system that can get much better with defensive line coach Bryant Young

Paxton also draws major physical comparisons to Vic Beasley, with Beasley coming in at 6’3″ and 246 pounds and Paxton at 6’2″ and 245 pounds.
