The Atlanta Falcons have officially announced the re-signing of inside linebacker Nate Landman, a key defensive player who made a significant impact during the 2023 season. Landman, who originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022, proved his worth by stepping up in a starting role and delivering impressive performances.
During his rookie season, Landman's opportunities were limited, with appearances in just seven games and only one tackle to his name. However, in 2023, circumstances demanded that he step into a starting role alongside Kaden Elliss when Troy Andersen was sidelined due to injury after the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Landman made the most of his opportunity and proved to be a valuable asset to the Falcons' defense. Throughout the season, he started in 14 out of the 16 games he played, accumulating an impressive total of 110 tackles, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles, two sacks, and an interception. His performance on the field showcased his versatility and ability to make impactful plays.
The Falcons' decision to re-sign Landman is a testament to his growth and potential within the team's defensive unit. His contributions on special teams in his rookie year, coupled with his exceptional performance as a starter in his second season, have solidified his position as a valuable member of the Falcons' defensive lineup.
By re-signing Landman, the Falcons have secured a player who has proven himself capable of making significant contributions on the field. As they continue to evaluate their options at quarterback, securing a strong defensive foundation is crucial for the team's success in the upcoming season. Landman's re-signing adds stability and depth to the linebacker position, ensuring that the Falcons have a formidable defense moving forward.
With Landman's impressive performance and potential, Falcons fans can look forward to seeing him continue to make an impact on the field and contribute to the team's ongoing success.
