Former Falcons fan favorite is making the team regret letting him go

The Atlanta Falcons might have the best defense in the NFL through five weeks, but that doesn't mean they don't miss Foyesade Oluokun. While Divine Deablo has shined since signing with the Falcons this offseason, Oluokun has been just as inpressive in 2025.

The former sixth-round pick in 2018 has continued to prove why he's among the NFL's most reliable linebackers. He's tied for 10th in the NFL with 44 combined tackles this season and his 80.8 PFF grade ranks 15th among all linebackers.

Under Jeff Ulbrich, the defense has transformed into a unit that can finally get to the quarterback, but fans can't help but wonder what would have happened if the 30-year-old linebacker never left.
