Round 4 (No. 119): LB Mykal Walker – Fresno State
Analysis: Walker is a prototypical NFL linebacker in a league that values versatility. He’s fast, strong, explosive and can line up on the edge, or play an off-ball spot depending on the formation the Falcons run. With Deion Jones and Foye Oluokun in place, Walker can be eased in. A guy with as many tools as Walker won’t have trouble finding a role.
His athleticism is also really impressive. Check out his RAS card below where he posted a respectable score of 8.16:
With pick 119 in the 2020 NFL Draft, the #Falcons selected Mykal Walker, LB, Fresno State.
