It’s been a busy day for the Atlanta Falcons, who have added two more players on day two of the draft. First-round selection Keanu Neal was joined by linebacker Deion Jones and tight end Austin Hooper.
The Falcons’ first pick was safety Neal out of Florida. Neal is a headhunter on defense, and head coach Dan Quinn will be hoping he can be the enforcer in the secondary, much like Kam Chancellor was for him in Seattle. Some viewed Neal as a day two prospect, but the Falcons clearly saw it differently.
Next up was Deion Jones, a lightning fast linebacker who can give chase on the sidelines and drop into coverage well.
