The Atlanta Falcons selected Oregon defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, a Deerfield Beach alum, with the 109th pick in the fourth round of the NFL draft. Dorlus, ranked as the No. 8 defensive tackle by @dpbrugler, is known for his versatility, able to play defensive tackle, defensive end, and outside linebacker. He leads all defensive tackles with 134 QB pressures since 2021. Dorlus has trained with Falcons great Chuck Smith in Atlanta, which he credits for refining his pass-rushing skills. His selection adds depth to the Falcons' evolving defensive line.
Falcons fourth-round pick - DT Brandon Dorlus from Oregon - used to train in Atlanta with Falcons great Chuck Smith. "I feel like he just developed my moves to be a more mature pass rusher. Not to have too many moves. Have your A and B moves and have your counter off that."
Oregon DL Brandon Dorlus said his "versatility" is what separates himself from the pack -- "not just being a power rusher or speed rusher. I have the highest IQ out there." Dorlus said he believes he can play the run and pass equally well. #Falcons
