The NFL’s Rising Defensive Geniuses: Who Will Redefine the 2025 Season?
Ulbrich returns to Atlanta now to help bolster a defense that last season had the fourth-worst success rate under Morris and then-defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. In this year’s NFL Draft, the Falcons selected two first-round edge rushers (Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker and Tennessee defensive end James Pearce Jr.) with the goal of elevating the defense in the competitive NFC South.
As for Anarumo, his defenses were all over the place in Cincinnati. The Bengals’ best defensive showings were in 2021 and ’22, but otherwise fluctuated in overall success rate, run defense success rate and pass defense success rate throughout his tenure.
