Jobless former Falcons draft pick may be forced into early retirement

The Atlanta Falcons drafted two quality linebackers in the pivotal 2016 NFL Draft in De'Vondre Campbell and Deion Jones.

Both players have had fantastic careers that climaxed at opposite times. For Jones, it came in his first handful of seasons with the Falcons, while Campbell's came with his third team, the Green Bay Packers.

Focusing on Campbell, the veteran carved out a respectable nine-year NFL career, which has likely come to an end after a tumultuous end with the 49ers.
