Why not go to the well twice if you are the Atlanta Falcons? We all know that you can never have enough defensive linemen in the NFL and why not double your chances of finding a top pass rusher?

Andre Carter, as you can see, is one big dude. Six-foot-seven, 260 pounds is something that no one wants to block, even in the NFL. While he underperformed as a pass rusher this past year with only 3.5 sacks, he has shown he can do a lot more as he totaled 15.5 sacks in 2021.

It could end up being too intriguing to not take the Army defensive end. Pair him with the other freak, Myles Murphy, and we might finally have a decent pass rush.
