It might have come out of nowhere, but Zach Harrison has dominated for the Falcons' much-improved defensive line this season. While he's no top prospect, Harrison has quietly and quickly become a difference maker.

The 2023 third-round pick out of Ohio State leads the Falcons with 3.5 sacks this season. And on Sunday Night Football, he recorded four tackles, the lone Falcons' sack, and had the second-highest average separation from the QB for Atlanta.

Unfortunately, Harrison practiced in a limited fashion all week due to a knee injury. If he's out in Week 8 8 against the Dolphins, second-year DTs Brandon Dorlus and Ruke Orhorhoro.
