With the first of their two fourth-round picks, the Atlanta Falcons selected Fresno State linebacker Mykal Walker with pick No. 119 in the 2020 NFL Draft:
Walker is a versatile linebacker that can effectively rush off the edge and is above average in coverage. He’s a great addition with De’Vondre Campbell signing with the Cardinals.
The Falcons have Deion Jones at middle linebacker and Foye Oluokun penciled in as an outside linebacker. Walker could be the perfect fit as that third linebacker capable of lining up all over in different sets.
2019 Stats: 96 tackles (56 solo), 9 TFL, 2.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 4 passes defended
