The Atlanta Falcons boast a surplus of defensive talent, but perhaps nobody has been more impressive than second-year defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus. After barely playing last season, the former Oregon Duck is enjoying a breakout season and is turning into a massive draft steal in Atlanta.

Dorlus was drafted in the fourth of the 2024 NFL Draft, but had a minimal role as a rookie. Dorlus recorded three tackles through two games a year ago, after a strong senior season in Eugene. Now, just 11 games into 2025, Dorlus has more sacks than through 14 games of his senior season.
