With Foye Oluokun out of the picture and the uncertainty surrounding Deion Jones‘ future, Falcons linebacker Mykal Walker could be on the verge of a breakout season.
After a promising rookie campaign, Walker took a step back in 2021 as the team transitioned to a 3-4 defense. The former Fresno State standout often took a back seat to Oluokun and Jones last year, however, Walker is looking forward to playing a bigger role in 2022.
“It feels good. Just back with the boys, flying around and stuff,” said Walker following the team’s first training camp practice Wednesday. “This is what we live for.”
