With his recent signing by the Atlanta Falcons, veteran edge rusher Leonard Floyd is determined to make a strong impact in the 2025 NFL season. Floyd, a former top-10 draft pick, expressed a clear objective during his introductory press conference: achieving his highest sack total in a single season. His career best stands at 10.5 sacks, recorded in both 2020 and 2023. Under the guidance of head coach Raheem Morris, whom he previously played under in Los Angeles, Floyd is optimistic about translating his success to Atlanta.

The Falcons had a pressing need for a productive edge rusher after ending the last season ranked 31st in the league with just 31 sacks. With other key players like Matthew Judon and Lorenzo Carter moving on, Floyd's signing not only fills a gap but also brings considerable experience and performance potential to the defensive line. Fans are eager to see if Floyd can sustain his streak of at least 8.5 sacks over the past five seasons as he embarks on this new chapter with the Falcons.
