Falcons Rookie Starters Shine | NFL News

The Atlanta Falcons are shaking things up with their first official depth chart, handing starting roles to two rookies right out of the gate. Kendal Daniels, a physical off-ball linebacker, edges out a veteran to lead the defense in stopping the run and covering tight ends. Meanwhile, Avieon Terrell — the younger brother of A.J. Terrell — jumps into the nickel cornerback spot, ready to test himself against Pittsburgh’s slot receivers. With Billy Bowman Jr. sidelined, Terrell gets a prime chance to make his mark. On offense, the Falcons lean on veterans, keeping rookies in backup roles — a clear strategy to blend youth with experience as they kick off the season.
