Keep an eye on EDGE Kemoko Turay for the Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons made a move the other day by signing edge rusher Kemoko Turay to their 90-man roster. In my opinion, this was an excellent signing.

Why is that? Well, Turay has a lot of upside and has had some production during his time in the NFL. He spent his first four seasons in Indianapolis and had a total of 12 sacks. That isn't anything to write home about but in the two seasons he has played over ten games, he had four and five-and-a-half sacks.

Last year, he spent time with the 49ers and did basically nothing. Nevertheless, he has shown he can get to the quarterback using his six-foot-five, 248-pound frame during his career. Ryan Neilsen has done an excellent job with pass rushers during his time as a coach and Turay is a candidate to be a pleasant surprise as a rotational pass rusher.
