The Atlanta Falcons have big plans for the 2024 season but there will likely be an adjustment period as the team implements new systems on offense and defense. While the Falcons offense has been the focal point after adding Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix, there’s plenty of intrigue on the defensive side of the ball.
Atlanta found potential replacements for defensive lineman Calais Campbell and linebacker Bud Dupree in the draft, selecting Clemson’s Ruke Orhorhorho and Washington EDGE Bralen Trice. Second-year cornerback Clark Phillips III is the favorite to replace Jeff Okudah.
