On Monday evening, a former Blackshirt announced that he had signed a contract for what will be Year 10 in the NFL. Will Compton confirmed that he would be joining the Atlanta Falcons, having previously spent time with Washington (2013-17), Tennessee (2018), Oakland (2019), Tennessee (2020), and Las Vegas (2021).
For his career, the Bonne Terre, Missouri native has recorded 323 career tackles, 1.0 sacks, four forced fumbles, and three interceptions. He was an undrafted free agent in the 2013 Draft. While playing at North County High, Compton was a first-team all-state linebacker and wide receiver. He chose Nebraska over schools such as Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.
Compton is also known for his popular podcast “Bussin with the Boys,” which he hosts with Titans Pro-Bowl Offensive Lineman Taylor Lewan. In addition, the former Husker broke the news of his signing himself and was quick to receive congratulations from NFL media and players alike.
