Falcons LB Troy Andersen shows flashes in his rookie season as to why he was selected with the No. 58 overall pick. The versatile Montana product has elite speed and field vision, but was rough around the edges at times when it came time to making decisions on the football field. Going into year two, he feels his teammates and coaching staff have him ready to take the next step.
“That’s the goal when you have those studs up front. Grady (Jarrett), David (Onyemata) and Calais (Campbell). The list goes on this year. It’s definitely a welcome thing up front, those guys will be eating up double teams. Hopefully we (the LB corps) can do our jobs better,” Andersen said.
The Falcons revamped their defensive front this offseason and will attempt to add to their sack total of just 18 from 2022 as well.
