Atlanta Falcons har nu indgået kontrakt med to af deres nyudvalgte spillere fra NFL Draft 2025. Cornerback Avieon Terrell og defensive lineman Anterio Thompson skriver fireårige kontrakter med holdet, hvilket markerer endnu et skridt i opbygningen af en stærk defensiv.
Terrell blev valgt i anden runde af draften, efter at Falcons havde handlet deres oprindelige førstevalg til Rams for at sikre sig edge rusheren James Pearce. Terrell kommer til Atlanta med en solid collegekarriere bag sig, hvor han i sin sidste sæson på Clemson noterede sig for 48 tackles, 4,5 tackles for loss, tre sacks, fem tvungne fumble og en fumble recovery. Han kommer dermed til at styrke en cornerbackgruppe, der allerede tæller hans bror, A.J. Terrell.
I sjette runde valgte Falcons Anterio Thompson, som tidligere har spillet for Washington. Thompson imponerede i sin sidste college-sæson med 30 tackles, 2,5 tackles for loss og 1,5 sacks. Hans fysiske spillestil og evne til at presse quarterbacken gør ham til et værdifuldt tillæg til Falcons’ defensive linje.
Med disse to kontrakter fortsætter Falcons med at bygge en defensiv, der kan konkurrere i en hård NFC South-division. Begge spillere ventes at bidrage med det samme, og deres tilknytning til holdet er et klart tegn på ledelsens ambitioner for den kommende sæson.
