Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country.
In the midst of the coaching staff trying to figure out who they can count on across the defensive line, a new starting linebacker will need to be decided. Replacing Kaden Elliss isn’t possible given everything he provided with his dependability, versatility, and leadership. What the Falcons can do is decide between a player entering his prime after being phased out in Houston, or one of the two exciting rookies to line up next to Divine Deablo.
Christian Harris will have plenty to prove following his demotion on one of the NFL’s elite defenses. His experience and traits could be worth seeing if he can still be a starting-caliber player. The other option is seeing if the future is already here by inserting either Kendal Daniels or Harold Perkins Jr. into the starting lineup.
Daniels has made a strong early impression on the staff. This followed Matt Ryan’s memorable reaction to the Falcons selecting him. Perkins Jr. has stood out as well, as his remarkable football journey continues to progress.
Who do you see starting against Pittsburgh on opening day out of the three linebackers?
