The Falcons defense is in flux heading into 2020, as it is pretty much every season. Desmond Trufant, De’Vondre Campbell, Vic Beasley, Jack Crawford, and others are gone, replaced by a mix of highly regarded rookies, splashy veteran signings, bargain bin additions, and potentially undrafted free agents. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that as usual, we have no idea what to expect from this Falcons defense, except that it likely won’t be one of the league’s elite units.
The linebacker group, though, looks like it’ll be at least pretty solid.
