However, when you look at many of the Atlanta Falcons most successful players, they do not fit those traditional NFL molds. A few days ago, we looked at every offensive lineman that Dimitroff had drafted and many of them were All-American players in college, yet most had not worked out.
When you look at this roster, two of the most successful players for the Falcons in recent years are Grady Jarrett and Deion Jones. Neither of those guys fit in the traditional profile for their positions. Both guys are smaller yet faster than others traditionally at their positions.
