The Atlanta Falcons have long been without a serious defensive playmaker. There were years fans just had to hope Akeem Dent wouldn’t miss too many tackles, or that Kroy Biermann looked good before he wore down. Things have changed since Dan Quinn took over, and rival teams are taking notice.
Bucs Nation, the SB Nation Tampa Bay Buccaneers hub, ranked their top five defenders in a surprisingly stacked NFC South. As you probably figured out from the title, formerly overdrafted safety Keanu Neal made the cut, along with Gerald McCoy, Luke Keuchly, Lavonte David (ranked number two ), and Cameron Jordan.
