Ruke Orhorhoro was a Round 2 pick for the Atlanta Falcons in the 2024 NFL Draft, chosen over Jer'Zhan Newton. Atlanta traded up for Orhorhoro, who had a pass-rushing grade in the 47th percentile for FBS interior defensive linemen. Newton, a top-ranked DI prospect, was selected just one pick later and was a highly productive interior defensive lineman in college football.
