Falcons LB Troy Andersen Creates 'Good Problem' in Atlanta Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Troy Andersen shined in his first NFL start with 13 tackles. Will he continue to get large chunks of playi...
Productive day in first start Andersen recorded 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-14 win over the 49ers.
Impact With starter Mykal Walker having been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Fransisco, Andersen was given the start at linebacker and tied with teammate Rashaan Evans for a team-high 12 tackles in Week 6. If Walker is unable to gain medical clearance ahead of next Sunday's contest versus the Bengals, the rookie second-rounder should once again serve as a key contributor in Atlanta's defensive unit.

Set to make first career start With Mykal Walker (groin) ruled out for Week 6, Andersen is in line to make his first career NFL start Sunday against the 49ers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constit...
Impact Andersen, a rookie second-round pick, saw an increased role after Walker left the team's Week 5 loss early and finished with season highs in tackles (five) and defensive snaps (27). He'll draw the start alongside Rashaan Evans in the middle of Atlanta's defense and will likely be in store for another productive game against San Francisco's run-first offense.

Headed south to Atlanta The Falcons selected Andersen in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 58th overall.
Impact Andersen is underdeveloped at linebacker after spending much of his Montana State career at quarterback and running back, but his athletic tools are truly rare and his developmental upside is unique. At 6-foot-4, 243 pounds, Andersen torched the combine with a 4.42-second 40-yard dash and 128-inch broad jump, making him one of the NFL's best athletes at any position. If his skill set can develop further, he'll eventually be a three-down defender for the Falcons.
