The Atlanta Falcons made team history when they selected Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Jalon Walker with the No. 15 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Walker, who played at Georgia for three seasons, is the Falcons' first ever first-round pick from the University of Georgia during the common draft era.
Walker will bring leadership and versatility to the Falcons. He's capable of lining up both as an inside linebacker and as an edge rusher. Atlanta fans should expect for Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to deploy Walker in a multitude of different ways.
