Atlanta Falcons really miss Brian Poole

Former Atlanta Falcons corner Brian Poole is not the most intimidating figure at 5-foot-9 and 210 pounds. His size and his slow 40-yard dash time were major factors in why he went undrafted out of Florida in 2016. He decided to follow his college teammate Keanu Neal to the Falcons after the 2016 draft.

During his three seasons with the team, Brian Poole recorded 195 tackles, 19 pass defenses, five sacks, and four interceptions.

With the odds against him, Poole not only made the Falcons roster but thrived as the nickel corner. He could defend across the middle and on the perimeter and was arguably one of the best tacklers the Falcons had not just in the secondary but on the defensive side of the ball.
