Will Atlanta Falcons linebackers Troy Andersen and Kaden Elliss both reach their potential?

The Atlanta Falcons have question marks at the linebacker position, mostly due to the unproven nature of Troy Andersen and Kaden Elliss. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the team's unproven group on today's podcast. After an up-and-down rookie year, Andersen will become a full-time starter at middle linebacker and have to prove he was worth the team's 2022 second-round selection. Andersen's upside is high especially in coverage, but he'll have to prove he has the instincts and technique to match.

Elliss is another New Orleans Saints defection that has the potential to have a big impact on the Falcons pass-rush due to his prowess in that area. But can Elliss pick up where he left off in New Orleans last year and does he have the potential to be the first double-digit sack artist in Atlanta in years?

Finally, the Falcons also have concerns in terms of their depth. Mykal Walker is their most proven option, but will someone emerge in camp to solidify the back end of the roster? It's an open competition between Tae Davis, Andre Smith, Nate Landman, Dorian Etheridge, and Mike Jones Jr.
