Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich on Jalon Walker:
"We're going to need him to get better at everything he does... We're going to ask him to do a lot. He is one of those guys that's gonna be in a similar role that Kaden [Elliss] had last year. What we asked Kaden to do, I'd never been around anything like that before in the past... That's hard to replace, but Jalon's up to the task. And Jalon's gonna bring his own flavor to it too. Jalon's got some superpowers that are really unique."
