Jalon Walker, James Pearce Jr, David Onyemata, and Leonard Floyd are the first four names that come to mind when thinking about the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive line. The Dirty Birds invested heavily in the unit this offseason, selecting both Pearce and Walker in the 2025 NFL Draft.
But despite not receiving the attention, Arnold Ebiketie, another member of this defensive front, could be the star of the show. Since being drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Cameroonian pass rusher has been a consistent contributor for the Falcons.
In three NFL seasons, the 26-year-old has played for three different defensive coordinators—and Jeff Ulbrich is slated to be the fourth in as many seasons.
