Why Atlanta Falcons DE Zach Harrison is a 2024 breakout candidate

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Defensive end Zach Harrison sat in the Atlanta Falcons locker room earlier this month, listening to every word. Calais Campbell leaned over in a locker stall next to Harrison and began to chat, not the first time it had happened this season.

All season long, the third-round pick absorbed conversation from the veterans around him.

It's those lessons learned, combined with his increased work rate and production in the latter half of the season, which makes Harrison a prime candidate to break out in 2024.

Campbell tried to impart little things throughout 2023, tips only a veteran with 16 years of playing experience might understand, like shedding blocks a certain way or using leverage of offensive linemen to create an advantage.
