Falcons lineup projections: Mykal Walker’s time to shine?

Falcons ILB Mykal Walker moves into the starting defensive lineup in our latest projection.

The Atlanta Falcons wrapped up their third week of organized team activities on Thursday, and they will begin mandatory minicamp next week. While it’s unwise to overreact to what happens in June, there have been a few developments worth noting.

Deion Jones, Atlanta’s highest-paid player, has been out as he recovers from shoulder surgery. This has left one of the starting inside linebacker spots up for grabs between Mykal Walker, Troy Andersen and Nick Kwiatkoski.
