Falcons select LB Harold Perkins Jr. with pick No. 215 in 2026 NFL Draft The Atlanta Falcons selected the LSU linebacker with their second pick in the sixth round.

Harold Perkins - Snagged by Falcons The Falcons selected Perkins in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 215th overall.
Impact Perkins didn't wait long to find the field at LSU, starting for three-plus seasons in Baton Rouge. He racked up 56 tackles and 4.0 sacks as a senior, adding three interceptions and a forced fumble to boot. He's a versatile player who started at multiple positions in college due to his tweener size, and it remains to be seen where he will settle in at the next level. He could play a hybrid safety-linebacker role, but his first order of business is proving he belongs with a good showing in camp.

Anterio Thompson - Claimed by Falcons The Falcons selected Thompson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 208th overall.
Impact Thompson spent two years at junior college before making stops at Iowa, Western Michigan and Washington over his final three seasons. He started just three games in 2025 and finished with 30 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. It's concerning that he wasn't a full-time starter in his fifth collegiate season, but Thompson has the raw tools (4.73 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 306 pounds) that make him worth a swing in the sixth round.

Kendal Daniels - Drafted by Falcons The Falcons selected Daniels in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 134th overall.
Impact Daniels (6-foot-5, 242 pounds) actually began his college career as a safety at Oklahoma State, where he was quite productive before transferring to Oklahoma to play linebacker. Daniels' frame is almost certainly linebacker-only at the NFL level, and his 4.79-second pro day 40 additionally ensures he will stick at linebacker for the Falcons.
