The Atlanta Falcons are approaching training camp with several key storylines, especially concerning their linebackers. Kaden Elliss has shown significant improvement, particularly in the second half of the last season, demonstrating his ability to pressure quarterbacks effectively. Conversely, Troy Andersen has faced health issues that have hindered his development, casting uncertainty on his future with the team. His performances have been inconsistent, leaving him in a critical position as he fights to secure both his spot on the roster and his overall NFL career.
Linebackers are one of the most misunderstood positions in football. Many factors that influence the results of a play are entirely out of their hands, most notably the defensive line keeping them clean.
Kaden Elliss came on strong in the second half of the season after Raheem Morris momentarily took the reins of the defense, a move that proved fruitful for both parties.
Troy Andersen flashed the complete game many had been waiting for, and like the Avatar, he vanished when the team needed him most.
Andersen is fighting for his NFL career this season, not just his roster spot.
