Malone's Falcons Comeback: Draft Miss or Blue-Collar Hero?

0:00On April 1st, the Atlanta Falcons just brought back linebacker D'Angelo Malone. The dude they drafted in the third round with that pick from the two, 2022, Matt Ryan Trade. Malone was supposed to boost the pass rush under the old GM, but after four years he's only got three sacks and barely hit 90 defensive snaps in. A season since his rookie year. Fans and analysts see him as a draft miss, mostly grinding on special teams where he was okay, but led his career high and missed tackles last season, across nine games. That said, he snagged a clutch interception offered deflection against the bills last year, showing he can make plays when it counts. His hustle and willingness to do the grunt work got him this shot. He's on the roster bubble heading into camp, but that blue collar edge might just keep him around while others slack.
