The Atlanta Falcons defense has already been building something special with some of their latest moves the past couple years. They have playmakers at every level and have begun to stockpile depth as well. Don’t expect them to let up on this anytime soon. Adding another hog in the middle of their defensive front would be a nice touch. Christian Wilkins is a true dirty work kind of guy. He eats up blocks, controls the line of scrimmage and allows his teammates to win their one-on-one battles elsewhere. It’s a big reason why the Clemson defensive line is so effective. He’s stout against the run and is better as an interior pass rusher than he gets credit for.
