Falcons Pass Rush Rebuild | Atlanta Falcons News

The Falcons’ pass rush, once a dominant force with a franchise-record 57 sacks last season, faces a major rebuild this year. Gone are key contributors Jalon Walker (injured), Kaden Elliss, and Arnold Ebiketie (free agency), plus James Pearce Jr., suspended for the first eight games. Enter veteran Samson Ebukam — a nine-year pro with 35 career sacks, including 9.5 last year — now seen as the cornerstone of the new defensive front. Despite an Achilles tear and a down year, Ebukam’s camp performance is sparking optimism. Under coach Jeff Ulbrich, he’s adapting to new line schemes and bringing veteran leadership, aiming not for sack totals but for consistent disruption — much like Leonard Floyd did.
