One of the unheralded studs at defensive tackle in the NFL. Jarrett announced his coming out party to the world at the Super Bowl back in February of 2016 and he’s only gotten better since then. He is now one of the better interior pass rushers in the league with a career-high six sacks last season. Sure it’s not Aaron Donald numbers but that’s still good.

There’s no denying his importance to the Atlanta Falcons defense. Where others continue to struggle with inconsistency, he only seems to be getting better. That is worth keeping around. The franchise tag is definitely in play but the likelihood is the team will want to get a long-term deal done sooner than later.
