The Atlanta Falcons aimed for a youth movement in their defensive line for 2024 but fell short. In 2025, however, they plan to rely on younger defenders in their second or third NFL seasons, alongside a few older players. With the departure of Grady Jarrett and limited new investments, such as Morgan Fox, young talent is critical for improvement. Defensive line coach Nate Ollie anticipates varying rotations, with David Onyemata expected to take a leadership role if healthy. Ruke Orhorhoro shows promise but needs to prove consistent performance.
David Onyemata's role is speculative, yet he remains the most established player, with potential for substantial impact if he stays healthy and productive.
The Falcons' defensive line will depend heavily on young players who need to step up following the departure of Grady Jarrett and minimal investments in new talent.
