The Falcons added two of the top-10 picks from the 2015 NFL Draft during the offseason. Both DE Dante Fowler Jr. and RB Todd Gurley spent last season with the Rams before signing with Atlanta back in March.

Fowler’s career got off to a slow start on a dysfunctional Jaguars team. He was traded to Los Angeles back in 2018 and finally put things together during the 2019 season, finishing with 11.5 sacks and 35 QB pressures.

Now 26 years old, Fowler appears to be entering his physical prime. The Falcons signed him to a three-year, $48 million contract and the former No. 3 overall pick sounds ready to prove himself.

Watch Fowler discuss his mindset entering the 2020 season following Tuesday’s camp practice, as shared by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure below:
