Atlanta Falcons will lead the NFL in Pro Bowl selections in 2021

Here are the defensive and special team players for the Atlanta Falcons that we expect to make the Pro Bowl following the 2021 NFL season.

Grady Jarrett

Grady Jarrett continues to be among the best interior defensive linemen in the NFL and that will continue in 2021.

Deion Jones

Injuries have knocked Deion Jones back a step but he showed a lot of promise in 2020 and he is nearly back to his old self. With Pees as his new coordinator, Jones will be able to do what he does best and will put the league back on notice.

AJ Terrell

AJ Terrell was the best rookie corner in the NFL and proved a lot of Atlanta Falcons fans wrong this season. He is the lone member of the secondary that progressed each and every game and by the end of the season was clearly the best player on the backend of the Falcons defense.

Secondary coach Jon Hoke will hasten Terrell’s development. Don’t be surprised to see the second-year Atlanta native become the best corner in the NFC South, if not the NFC.

Younghoe Koo

This one will depend on whether or not Younghoe Koo comes back to the Atlanta Falcons in 2021. He is currently an unrestricted free agent and neither Terry Fontenot nor Arthur Smith has given us any indication on whether or not they plan to make him an offer he cannot refuse and be back with the Falcons.

Regardless of what uniform he puts on in 2021, he will make his second straight Pro-Bowl.
