Future of the Atlanta Falcons ~ DL: Ta’Quon Graham, OLB: Arnold Ebiketie, ILB: Troy Anderson

These are positions that the Atlanta Falcons will need huge contributions from in the future if they want to get this defense turned around and each one of these players has shown they could shoulder the load.

Ta’Quon Graham, prior to his unfortunate injury, had been an unsung hero for the Falcons. Sure, he had that brutal drop/fumble against the Chargers but one play doesn’t define a player. His improvements were eye-catching this year. It seems like the Falcons found a gem.

Arnold Ebiketie might be the player I am most excited about in the future. He may not have the stats in his handful of NFL games but he has had a few dominant performances already. Also, don’t forget about the uber-talented DeAngelo Malone as well.

Troy Anderson is one of the best athletes in the entire NFL. The dude can literally do anything. People forget that he is still learning the linebacker position, yet he is still making plays (like that play where he took down Justin Fields on third down where it looked like he was shot out of a cannon).
