After yesterday’s selection of Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell in the first round, it’s clear that the Falcons are focused on building a defense that can help them get back to the Super Bowl.
Davidson is a perfect replacement for Adrian Clayborn, giving the team a bigger, more versatile defensive end than some of the speedier options Atlanta already has on the roster.
2019 Stats: 49 tackles (30 solo), 7.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery
