The Atlanta Falcons prepare for training camp with optimism following two disappointing seasons. The offense, returning all starters except at center, shows notable stability, and the coaching staff remains unchanged. In contrast, the defense has undergone a significant overhaul due to poor performance last season, adding youthful energy. A key question remains about defensive roles, particularly the starting linebacker position alongside Kaden Elliss. Deablo is expected to be the every-down starter, while Troy Andersen could also contribute if he remains healthy.
The Falcons didn't pay Deablo $14 million over two years to come in and compete for a starting spot. His price tag is comparable to that spent on Elliss in 2023.
Yes, Deablo will be the definitive every-down starter next to Elliss. But that doesn't mean Andersen won't also play significant snaps. He'll likely be the front-runner.
