    The Falcons were very pleased with John Abraham’s production as well as his leadership last year. Abraham has averaged 0.711 sacks per game in his 11-year career, giving him the third highest average per game since sacks became an official stat in 1982 behind Reggie White (0.85) and Bruce Smith (0.716). All that being said, look for the Falcons to add another pass rusher, perhaps with their first pick in the draft. Abraham is almost 33 years old, and the team eventually will need to replace him. And even in the short term, the Falcons need a complementary rusher who could enhance Abraham by drawing away double teams.
