Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Despite not making any glamorous moves, the Falcons have been diligent in adding players to bolster their defensive front. It’s an area where they could use more size after being overwhelmed at times during the season by opposing ground games. For all their success at producing
sacks, they struggled to push the pocket in various games. Acquiring bigger players who possess more power with that burst to get off the line of scrimmage was a point of emphasis in the offseason.
Azeez Ojulari, Samson Ebukam, Da’Shawn Hand, and Christian Harris are players who will have the opportunity to earn a key role within the front. They have all played significant snaps at some point in their career, with Ebukam and Ojulari having the most recent standout years. Hand deserves praise for becoming a solid contributor within an excellent Chargers’ defense. Harris spent valuable seasons learning from one of the best defensive minds within one of the most ferocious units in Houston. There is notable upside with all four new signings.
Which player do you believe is going to emerge as a true standout? Let us know your choice and thoughts below.
