FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Thursday’s preseason game in Miami seemed to bolster a growing belief about the Falcons: They are deep along the defensive line.
Starting defensive tackles Grady Jarrett and Dontari Poe forced their way into Miami’s backfield for much of the Dolphins’ first two possessions. Once their day was over, Ra’Shede Hageman and Joe Vellano continued to generate interior pressure.

While Hageman is a player most Falcons fans are familiar with, Vellano likely isn’t. The fourth-year defensive tackle spent the 2016 regular season on Atlanta’s practice squad before being activated for the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl.
