Falcons coach Dan Quinn has good problem at linebacker with more speed, talent

As the Atlanta Falcons begin OTAs on Tuesday, coach Dan Quinn gets to tinker with different looks on defense, including at linebacker.

Quinn liked what he saw last year with Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Deion Jones manning the middle and fellow rookie De'Vondre Campbell playing the weak-side "Will" linebacker role. With Jones and Campbell now in their second years, the Falcons added third-round pick Duke Riley to the mix. Quinn said Riley will begin as a "Will" linebacker.

So what happens to Campbell?

"Right now he's still at the Will, so he's in the same role," Quinn said.
